The correct answer is "Roman armies were caught up in conflicts between generals."
During the period of internal political strife in the Roman Empire, various factions and generals vied for power and control. This led to intense conflicts between the armies of different generals, as they fought against each other to secure their positions. These internal conflicts diverted the attention and resources of the Roman military away from protecting the empire's borders and maintaining its security. Instead of focusing on external threats, the Roman armies were occupied with internal power struggles. This internal disunity made it difficult to effectively defend and protect the Roman Empire from external attacks and invasions.
