Introduction
Here is the required answer.
Explanation
Option A- is correct. The Greek Ionian revolt caused the first Persian war. Aristagoras, economic pressure, and the feeling that the Empire mistreated the Ionian colony sparked the uprising. Ionian received help from Athens.
Option B- is not correct. Trade served as a vital source of wealth for the Persian Empire. Bad trading did not directly start the Persian wars.
Option C- is not correct. Under the pressure of constant heavy taxation, the Persians revolted against the Empire, leading to civil war and internal rebellion that caused the Empire's downfall.
