Answer 1

On election day, Tiberius Gracchus appeared in the Forum with armed guards and in mourning costume, implying that his defeat would mean his impeachment and death. As the voting proceeded, violence broke out on both sides. Tiberius's cousin, Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica, saying that Tiberius wished to make himself king, led the senators into the Forum. In the resulting confrontation, Tiberius was killed, and several hundred of his followers perished with him.

Sounds like B is the correct answer
