Solution
The correct option is A Cyrus the liberator
The Babylonians called Cyrus as ‘Cyrus the liberator’, a courtesy rarely extended to conquerors. In 539 B.C. Cyrus conquered Babylon, the capital city of the Babylonian empire. But, Cyrus did not enslave or pillage the conquered people. Instead, he freed the Babylonian slaves. He even decreed that people had the right to choose their religion.
