Answer
Exam answer
(c) Mark Antony, Octavius Caesar, Lepidus.
Explanation
Keep the two triumvirates apart. The FIRST — Caesar, Crassus, Pompey — belongs to history before the play. The SECOND is formed inside the play, in Act 4 Scene 1, when Antony, Octavius and Lepidus meet to rule Rome and mark down their enemies for death. Option (a) is the first triumvirate; option (d) is impossible, since Caesar is already dead.
In words
Mark Antony, Octavius Caesar, Lepidus.
Example
Mark Antony, Octavius Caesar and Lepidus.
