    The Persians go to war against Athens, because they wanted to punish the Athenians for supporting the Ionian revolt

    Answer: Option D

    Explanation:

    The Persians went against Athen in a war because the people of Athens supported the Ionian revolt. This was not supported by the Persians because the Ionian revolt was against the Persian rule only.

    This revolt was by the Greek cities of Asia minor who were against the Persian rule from 499 to 493 BC. There fore they decided to go and war against the Athens because they supported the revolt and the Persians decided to punish the Athens for this reason.
