Athen's military was similar to Sparta's, with the use of hoplites. 
Women did not serve or lead so A and B are out.
Athens was mainly focused on creating  thinkers, and their land based army was not massive, so I don't think it's D
They did have a good navy, I would pick C.

@thehelp Thank you, I didn't think women lead/served, but I was unsure about the last two.
