The statement that best describes Athens’s military is: Athens had a large and capable navy.
Explanation: Athens is well-known for its powerful navy, which played a crucial role in their success during the Persian Wars, particularly in the Battle of Salamis. While they also had an army, their naval strength was a defining feature of Athenian military power compared to other city-states. In contrast, the other options either inaccurately describe the role of women in the military or do not emphasize the naval aspect that set Athens apart.
