Answer 1

Correct answer is b. A period in which Greek ideas and culture were spread throughout the Middle East and Asia

Step-by-step explanation:

B is correct answer because it refers to the period of Alexander the Great and his successors. The main idea of this ruler was to spread Greek culture and to mix it with the culture and idea of Persian Empire, which was ruling larger portion of Asia.

A is not correct as it refers to Peloponnesian war, that happened between 431 and 404 BC

C is not correct as it refers to Greco-Persian war that happened between 500 and 449 BC.

D is also not correct as Persian culture didn't spread throughout Greece that much, except in the region of Ionia.
