D. Weak armies were actually a consequence of many other underlying issues, such as political, social, and economic problems, along with the strain on the frontiers, not a standalone cause of the Fall of Rome. The Roman military might was renowned, but it became less effective due to various factors such as lack of funds, inadequate training, and relying on mercenaries. However, it was not initially weak; it became weak over time due to other causative issues. So, while the weakening of the Roman armies certainly contributed to the fall, this was a symptom of the decline rather than a root cause in itself.
