Respuesta :

The answer is A. Mycenaean civilization.

The Mycenaean civilization first developed on the mainland of modern-day Greece during the Bronze Age. The culture was made up mostly of a warrior aristocracy and was well-known for their military conquests. Around 1400 BCE, the Mycenaeans extended their control to Crete, which was then the center of the Minoan civilization. The Mycenaeans are also thought to have twice defeated the powerful city-state of Troy, though evidence of this is only depicted in stories such as those told in epic poems like Homer's Iliad.
