Which one of the following statements would be an accurate inference from the example of Marcus Aurelius?
Explanation:
Options (c) and (d) propose hypothetical scenarios that are assumed to be true in the passage, leading to potential consequences. These options can be disregarded as they are based on hypotheses rather than concrete facts.
Option (a) can be eliminated since there is no mention in the passage that Marcus Aurelius was a stoic.
Option (b) can be inferred from the following lines: "if an army general accused Marcus Aurelius of treason in front of other officers" and "continuing to lead the Romans in a way that Marcus Aurelius believed best benefited them." Even if the hypothetical situations were not true, Marcus Aurelius would have still chosen to persist in leading the Roman army.
Hence, option (b).
