d(the end of the peloponnesian war.

The correct answer is B) the death of Alexander the Great.

The Hellenistic Age is a stage of the ancient Mediterranean History whose chronological limits are two important political events: the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE and the death of Cleopatra VII of Egypt and her lover Marco Antonio after the defeat of the battle of Actium in 31 BCE.

The Hellenistic Age was marked by the strong influence of classical Greek heritage over the territories conquered by Alexander the Great in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East. It is regarded as a period of transition between the decay of the Greek world and the rise of Roman power. It was characterized by profound economic changes, cultural miscegenation, and the use of Greek as a cult language and as the common language for trade, politics, and academia. The most important node of this period in political, economic, cultural, and intellectual matters was the city of Alexandria on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt.
