Respuesta :

"The spread of Christianity" was not a cause of the gradual decline and fall of the Western Roman Empire, since it has been argued that this spread actually caused a good deal of unification. 

The correct answer is "the spread of Christianity". Many factors had been mentioned by modern historians to attribute the fall of the Western Roman Empire, including: lowering the effectiveness of their armies, health of roman population, weak economy, religion changes, internal struggles, among others. The spread of Christianity, has not been pointed as a factor for the fall of the Western Roman Empire, actually the rise of Christianity is considered a golden age for this Empire.
