The correct answer is alternative A: Pericles.

Pericles proposed in the Congress Decree the rebuilding of the temples destroyed after the Persian Wars.

In 449 BC, Pericles proposed allowing 9000 talents to finance the rebuilding of Athenian temples, which was seen later as the largest embezzlement in human history.
