Explanation

The Ionian Revolt (499–494 BCE) was an uprising of Greek cities in Asia Minor against Persian rule. Although the revolt was defeated, Persia then invaded Greece in retaliation, leading to the Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE, where the Persians lost to the Athenians. Therefore, the correct choice is “Persia fought the Greek army at Marathon and lost.”
