The correct answer is D.

477 BC --- The Delian League was formed. This organization was a maritime military alliance, created and controlled in the beginning by the Athenian statesman Aristides (who wrote the statutes and put it in motion), in 477 BC, at the end of the Persian Wars, in order to be able to defend against possible new attacks by the Persians.

431 BC --- The Peloponessian War began. It was a military conflict of Ancient Greece that pitted the cities formed by the Delian League (headed by Athens) and the Peloponnesian League (headed by Sparta).

430 BC --- A plague broke out in Athens. The Plague of Athens was a devastating epidemic that affected mainly the city-state of Athens in 430 BC, in the second year of the Peloponnesian War. It is believed that it must have arrived in Athens through Piraeus, the port of the city and the only source of food and supplies.

404 BC --- Athens lost its ruler and its power. As a result of its defeat in the Peloponessian War, Athens lost its political predominance in Ancient Greece, which was transferred to Sparta.
