Explanation:

To complete the paragraph about the Persian Wars, we analyze the last blank. After the Persian invasions, in 479 BC, the Greeks (specifically after battles like Plataea and Mycale) achieved a clear victory, leading to the withdrawal of Persian forces from Greece. The other options are incorrect: there wasn't a lasting peace immediately (conflicts continued later in other forms), it wasn't a deadlock (Greeks won), and Persians didn't win (Greeks were victorious). So the correct choice is "a clear victory for the Greeks and the withdrawal of the Persian forces".

Answer:

a clear victory for the Greeks and the withdrawal of the Persian forces
