The first stages of the decline of the Roman Empire (AD 108) coincided with a large-scale epidemic  This is the correct option.

This statement provides evidence of the way in which small-pox affected the Western civilization . The Roman Empire was part of the Western civilization and it started to fall down at the same time a severe epidemy of chicken pox was spreading.

These options are not right:

- Smallpox was introduced to Europe sometime between the fifth and seventh centuries. . . ( This evidende refers to the time it was introduced in Europe , not to the development of the Western civilization.)

-The Arab expansion, the Crusades, and the discovery of the West Indies all contributed to the spread of the disease. ( This evidence talks about the factors that spread the  disease, not about the effect it had on the development of the Western civilization).

-Unknown in the New World, smallpox was introduced by the Spanish and Portuguese conquistadors ( This refers to the first time chicken -pox had become known.)

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
