Option A
looks wordy and it is not idiomatic. Thus this option is incorrect.

Option B.
awkward sentence not properly constructed.

Option C.
The expression in this option is not enough reason to back up the action performed by the Romans.
Thus, this option is incorrect.

Option D.
This is the correct answer as it clearly gives reason for the action performed and it a good construction manner

Option E.
'in Order' this is a wrong idiomatic expression in this option. Definitely, wrong.
