Answer
A
put down a revolt of Ionian Greeks
B
defeat revolts in Babylon and Egypt
C
support Sparta in the Peloponnesian Wars
D
build the Royal Road so his army could reach Greece

Explanation

Before launching his invasion of Greece, Xerxes had to secure the Persian Empire by suppressing revolts in Egypt and Babylon. The Ionian Revolt had already been put down during the reign of his father, Darius I, and the Royal Road already existed. Therefore, the correct choice is “defeat revolts in Babylon and Egypt.”
