Read the summary.

Rome’s empire covered 2.5 million square miles (1). But this large territory meant longer frontiers to defend and more lands to control (2). To flesh out the army’s dwindling ranks, Roman Senators declared that all able-bodied men must serve, which resulted in rioting (3). As a result, the Roman Senate was disbanded by Julius Cesar in AD 33, and an imperial Roman power emerged for another 500 years.

Which critiques the factual accuracy of the summary?

A:While parts (1) and (2) are accurate, parts (3) and (4) need revision.
B:While parts (1) and (3) are accurate, parts (2) and (4) need revision.
C:While part (1) is accurate, parts (2), (3), and (4) need revision.
D:While parts (1), (2), and (3) are accurate, part (4) needs revision.

Is It B.?

C & D are out of the picture. I got B wrong. So the answer is A, I believe.
