What were the origins of the Persian Empire?

It was founded on a dry plateau in modern-day India.
It was founded when Darius I crushed a Greek revolt.
It began when the Greeks overthrew the Median Empire.
It began when Cyrus the Great united nomadic herding tribes.

For this I would say....

The last one, It began when Cyrus the Great united nomadic herding tribes. and here is why,

The Persian Empire began as a collection of semi-nomadic tribes as it raised sheeps, goats and cattle, founded the first Persian Empire which was also known as Achaemenid Empire, in 550 B.C. The first one was under Cyrus the Great and it soon became the world's first superpower

I you disagree please let me know.

Tbh I haven’t learned about that since 2017 but I’m pretty sure it’s D. I just know Cyrus the Great was the first ruler of the Persian empire.
