b. germans.
c. greeks.
d. assyrians.

The correct answer is C. Greeks.

Greece was conquered by Rome and became a Roman province in 146 BC, but even long before that, Greek culture shaped the Roman culture. Rome took the Greek gods and Greek mythology and built their own religion upon it. They also were inspired by the rich Greek philosophy, politics, art, and architecture from Greece in order to develop the Roman civilization. For all these reasons, the Roman culture is often called Greek-Roman culture and both are some of the basic foundations of Western civilization.
