Answer:

The good option here can only be:

d. ​Cornelius Scipius Africanus.

Explanation:

Rome started the Third Punic War because it saw a good opportunity to destroy Carthage once and for all. Though he did not start it , consul Cornelius Scipius Africanus took charge of the siege of Carthage in 147 BCE and perfected it. The last all-out attack came in 146 BCE, a bloody and mercilles battle that went on for over a week. Carthage fell and was wiped out of the face of Earth.
