□ athens’ government became unstable, and without a strong leader the people surrendered.

Explanation:

During the Peloponnesian War, Sparta's actions were crucial in Athens' surrender. Destroying Athens' naval fleet weakened its military power. A naval blockade cut - off food and supplies, causing hardship. While disease affected Athens earlier in the war, it was not the direct cause of surrender. Government instability was not the main reason for surrender.

Answer:

Sparta destroyed Athens’ naval fleet.
Sparta’s naval blockade kept food and supplies from reaching the city.
