Question 10

To answer this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The question's context (from previous questions about organization, weapon differences) doesn't support population size as the reason.
• Option B: There's no indication Greek hoplites refused to fight.
• Option C: The text and visuals focus on Philip II's army reforms (discipline, organization) not alliances.
• Option D: Previous questions show Philip II's army (Macedonian phalanx) was more organized, had better weaponry/training. Demosthenes' view and visual evidence of tight organization support a disciplined, professional army that was prepared.

Answer:

D. Philip II built a disciplined, professional army that was always prepared
