The Christians who were killed were remembered as "martyrs".

Option: D

Explanation:

"Theodosius" the Roman emperor was responsible for making Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire after four centuries of Jesus demise. When Christianity spread throughout the Roman Empire than conflict occurred between Christians and Romans. This was because Romans believed that new religion was a threat, therefore they started giving punishment to Christians. But Roman persecution didn't stop Christianity from growing and becoming a powerful movement. There after Christians who were killed were remembered as martyrs.
