b. darius route: persian fleet is represented by yellow arrows
c. in 490 b.c., the athenians won a victory over persia.
d. in the map, the neutral states are represented as orange.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: In 480 B.C., the Persians sacked and burned Athens (not Sparta), so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Typically, the Persian fleet's representation and Darius' route details may not match this description (contextually, this is less accurate).
• Option C: In 490 B.C., the Athenians won the Battle of Marathon against Persia, which is historically accurate.
• Option D: Map representations of neutral states as orange is not a standard or historically verified detail here.

Answer:

C. In 490 B.C., the Athenians won a victory over Persia.
