Answer:
You didn't give any option to choose, so I'll explain this question based on the subject.
Explanation:
The first thing you have to consider is that even with the division between the Western and Eastern Empire, the Byzantine Empire maintained several of the traditional roman institutions and laws, and most important, they were the continuation of the Roman Empire. Byzantines call themselves "Roman", and this term - Byzantine - was not used at least until the end of this empire in 1453. So, as you can see, they didn't break with the Western Empire at all, they just made some changes, especially in religion.
The answer choices are:
A. Despite being two different empires, they had friendly relations and a good deal in common; thus they are often conflated as being a part of the same empire.
B. They were part of the same Roman empire, but the Eastern half (i.e. the Byzantine Empire) separated from the Western half and outlasted it.
C. They were fundamentally different empires, despite always being formally ruled by the same emperor and the same church.
D. They were part of the same Roman empire, but the Eastern half (i.e. the Byzantine Empire) differed mainly in its economy and tax system, for which it is now infamous.
Sorry, but I don't know what the answer is.
