← HistoryWhich increased risk arose when Roman roads enabled rapid troop deployment?
A)Reduced agricultural production capacity
B)Increased vulnerability to long supply lines✓
C)Widespread urban overcrowding and disease
D)Heightened frequency of localised insurrections
💡 Explanation
When the Roman military used roads for rapid deployment, logistical network extension occurred because armies require constant resupply, creating extended supply lines that could be cut by enemies, increasing vulnerability. Therefore long supply line risk rises, rather than reduced agriculture, urban overcrowding, or increased insurrections, which are linked to distinct phenomena.
