Which groups migrated to Britain after the Roman withdrawal?

• A. Romans
• B. Celts
• C. Anglo-Saxons
• D. Picts

Answer: (C)

After Rome withdrew, Britain opened to new settlers from the continent. The Anglo-Saxons—comprising Angles, Saxons, and Jutes from areas that are now Denmark and northern Germany—moved in during the 5th and 6th centuries, established several kingdoms, and brought Old English with them. This migration is why the Anglo-Saxons are the best answer: they represent the large-scale continental influx that reshaped Britain after Roman rule.

The others describe groups that were already present in Britain before or during Roman times, or lived in the north rather than migrating in after withdrawal. Romans left Britain themselves, the Celts were the native Romano-Britons who remained, and the Picts were a northern Celtic-speaking people in what would become Scotland.
