Explanation

Caesar built political influence through several strengths: he developed leadership as a military commander, was a gifted public speaker, and came from a noble family that gave him access to high office. He also supported reforms that won backing from ordinary people. These correspond to the military leadership, oratory, noble birth, and popular reform choices. Patrician resentment was a consequence of his popularity, not a strength that helped him gain power, and simply defying the Senate is not one of the political strengths described.
