The most accurate answer to the question is:
**B. Greek city-states had supported rebellions in the Persian Empire.**
Darius I's decision to attack Greece was significantly influenced by the support that some Greek city-states, particularly Athens and Eretria, provided to the Ionian Greeks during their revolt against Persian rule. This assistance angered Darius and motivated him to seek revenge against the Greeks.
