Answer:

C. They trapped the Persian ships in a narrow area of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Greeks lured Persian ships into narrow waters around Salamis after regrouping after they got pushed south after losing Athens. In the narrow waters, the Persians' numerical advantage was not applicable.
