The correct answer is C. Observing what happened to the Spartans and the Romans shows that it is best to destroy a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom.
Explanation:
The text focuses on explaining the differences between the Spartans and the Romans when conquering new territories. The author explains the Romans destroyed and dismantled new territories, and were successful. On the opposite, the Spartans were not successful because they only established a government in new territories.
This implies, destroying new states is a better strategy than allowing freedom, this is reinforced by the idea "he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it may expect to be destroyed by it" that shows the need to destroy or dismantle new states to control them. Thus, the main idea is that destruction is the best strategy to use with acquired states which is proven by comparing Spartans and Romans.
