Answer 1

Correct answer is Empress Theodora advised him to stay and fight .

Step-by-step explanation:

Obviously, Empress had a large impact on the Emperor. When the revolt started in the first years of his reign, Justinian was afraid that he has no power to preserve the throne. He decided to run away, but Empress convinced him to stay. This strengthen the role of the Emperor, who after this event started his famous military campaigns. Belisarius was the general that led those campaigns.

All other options are therefore wrong.
