The conflict in Sophocles' Antigone arises because of the opposing beliefs of Creon and Antigone.
Creon, who places duty to his land and people above anything else, passes a law that Antigone's brother who had turned a traitor, would not be honoured with a burial and that his body be left in a state of shame.
Antigone opposed this, placing familial ties above the laws of her king and land.This conflict between the two spirals into an ugly and vengeful outcome.

As it is well known, the cause of the Trojan War was the kidnap of Helen from Sparta (historically known as 'Helen of Troy'), wife of Menelaus, brother of the great spartan general Agamemnon, by the Trojan prince Paris, whom Helen had fallen in love for. However this was actually a great excuse for Agamemnon to lead <u>the greatest greek army ever gathered</u> to siege Troy (a nation of great power and riches at the time). A siege that would last for 10 years. Under the excuse of revenge for the Trojan insults in 'stealing' Helen from his brother, he convinced the greatest generals of all state-countries in Greece to joing his cause, among them Achilles, Ajax, Odysseus (Ulysses in Latin) and indeed conquered the lesser kingdoms to submit them under his rule.

However, I do not believe that Agamemnon subjugation of the lesser kingdoms was what helped to build the greek culture, but the fact that for the first time, all nations in Greece had a common cause to fight for. So I would chose for letter C, instead of D.

ps.: I would recommend discussing with your teacher between letters B and D.

I hope it was of some help!
