B. Athens

The Hellenistic period covers the Ancient Greek and Mediterranean from around Alexander the greats death to the beginning of the Roman Empire. Thus it is too early for Rome and too late for Babylon and the geography is wrong for Alexandria (which is in Egypt). Therefore Athens is correct.
