The Ides of March was a day on the Roman calendar that corresponded to March 15th. It marked the middle of the month, and was traditionally a time for settling debts. However, it is most famous for being the day on which Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC. So, option A is partially correct as it represents the assassination of Roman emperor but doesn't give the exact reason of this day, so the most appropriate answer is B.
