Answer:

Option C “Rome wanted to keep Carthage from completely taking over Sicily”

Explanation:

During its plans for expansion as a great Empire, Rome wanted to take over Sicily, which at that moment was under control of Carthage. As a maritime focal point, the fact of dominating Sicily translated into having commercial and military power, and thus was key for expansion over sea (264-146 AC).
