"Athens used its navy to control trade in the region."

Explanation: After the Persian Wars Athens led the Delian League, built a strong navy and turned it into an Aegean/sea empire that protected — and increasingly controlled — trade and allied city-states. The other statements are incorrect: Sparta was never completely controlled by Athens; Sparta remained a land-power rival and later checked Athens in the Peloponnesian War; and Sparta did not celebrate Athens taking control of Greece.
