What effect did rome's expansion have on its economy?

a. it hurt citizens who lost their jobs to cheaper labor that was available from newly acquired land.
b. it hurt small farmers who could not compete with large farms that were bought after expansion.
c. it hurt merchants who no longer had a reason to travel on trade routes and sell their goods for money.
d. it hurt the government because new lands were difficult to control and maintain without a large enough army.

It hurt small farmers who could not compete with large farms that were bought after expansion.

Explanation:

I just took the quiz and I would make sence if this was the reall answer. Think about it, If rome ecpaned the economy then more people would come and richer people would just get richer. The rich would then bye the land and the small farmers would get hurt. THINK ABOUT IT?!?!!?!?

Brainiest please?!?!!?
