Judith Buck · Answer 1

Cyrus the Great ruled the Achaemenid Empire and enlarged it to become the world’s largest at that time, an area spanning from Turkey to the Indus River in Pakistan. Cyrus warred and conquered the mighty Neo-Babylonian Empire, routing the Babylonian Army in the Battle of Opis and entered the city of Babylon without any resistance. So the correct answer is choice a.
