d. Sparta emerged victorious
During the Peloponnesian War, which lasted from 431 to 404 BC, Sparta ultimately emerged as the victor over Athens. The war resulted in the weakening of both city-states, but Sparta's alliance with Persia and the decisive Spartan naval victory at Aegospotami in 404 BC led to the surrender of Athens, marking the end of the conflict. This outcome shifted the balance of power in ancient Greece from Athens to Sparta, altering the political landscape of the time.
