Answer:

A) Sparta

Step-by-step explanation:

As Sparta conquered other peoples living on the Peloponnesian peninsula, it made many of them slaves, called helots. In time, the helots greatly outnumbered their conquerors. Constantly concerned about the threat of a slave revolt, Sparta turned itself into "a sort of permanently armed camp," historian Paul Cartledge has written.
