Answer 3

Yes, you are correct. The event that marked the beginning of the Middle Ages is the collapse of the Roman Empire. Although the phrase "Fall of Rome" is not explicitly mentioned in the options, option A, which states "the collapse of the Roman Empire," corresponds to that event and is the correct answer in this case.
