B
The Jews moved to other parts of the Roman world.
C
The Romans banned the practice of some Jewish rituals.

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In 70 AD, the Romans destroyed the temple in Jerusalem and looted its sacred contents. With the revolt over for good, huge numbers of Jews left Judaea to make a home elsewhere. The beginning of Vespasian’s rule had given Romans a new feeling of optimism after the civil war and the terror of Nero’s reign.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Roman suppression of the revolt had a significant demographic impact on the Jews of the Land of Israel; many perished in battle and due to siege conditions. The city of Jerusalem was entirely destroyed; it is unlikely that many Jews survived in Jerusalem or the surrounding area.
