The correct answer is: The slaves grew their food for them.
The Spartans were able to focus on military training and fighting because they had a system of slavery in place. The slaves, known as helots, were responsible for growing the food and performing other agricultural tasks, allowing the Spartans to dedicate themselves to military pursuits. By relying on the labor of the helots, the Spartans could prioritize their military training and warfare without needing to worry about food production.
