A)Increased reliance dye imports
B)Tax base decline for imperial revenue✓
C)Strengthened trade with Sasanian Empire
D)Improved domestic wool production

Tax revenue declines because loss of the silk trade reduces taxable economic activity, which uses the multiplier effect. This is based on reduced silk production itself leading to less downstream economic activities, therefore the Byzantine treasury suffers revenue impacts, rather than a shift in other sectors.
