Solution

The correct option is B Greco-Persian
The Greco-Persian Wars were a series of wars fought between the Persians and the Greek states between 492-449 BCE. Herodotus' work includes much more than just the narration of that conflict. It encompasses geography, gods, and even a bit of arithmetic.
