B
Roman emperor responsible for moving the capital of the empire from Rome to Byzantium
C

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Roman Empire was split again in 395 AD upon the death of Theodosius I, Roman Emperor in Constantinople, never again to be made whole. He divided the provinces up into east and west, as it had been under Diocletian’s tetrarchy over a century earlier, between his two sons, Arcadius and Honorius.

Detailed explanation-2: -In short, the empire’s vast size played a role-its colossal borders made it challenging to govern-but other factors, such as political and social instability, revolts, invasions and incursions into the empire, also led to the split.

Detailed explanation-3: -Theodosius was a strong adherent of the Christian doctrine of consubstantiality and an opponent of Arianism. He convened a council of bishops at Constantinople in 381, which confirmed the former as orthodoxy and the latter as a heresy.
