Why was the Greek army able to defeat the Persians at the Battle of Salamis?

Answer
A
They were better equipped to fight on land.
B
They had more archers to use in the invasion.
C
They trapped the Persian ships in a narrow area of water.
D
They were able to surround the Persian army in the mountains.

Explanation

The Battle of Salamis was a naval battle. The Greeks lured the larger Persian fleet into the narrow waters of the strait, where Persian ships had little room to maneuver and could not use their numerical advantage effectively. This allowed the Greek fleet to defeat them, so the correct choice is “They trapped the Persian ships in a narrow area of water.”
