The correct answer is **C. Athens dominated over other city-states.**
After the Persian Wars, Athens emerged as a powerful maritime empire and leader of the Delian League, which allowed it to assert dominance over other Greek city-states. This shift in power contributed to tensions that eventually led to the Peloponnesian War, where the balance of power among Greek city-states shifted significantly in favor of Athens.
