The correct answer is C. Mycenaeans. To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate the other options one by one.
The Minoans (option A) were an ancient civilization that existed on the island of Crete, but they did not dominate the Aegean world during the period mentioned.
The Spartans (option B) were a militaristic city-state in ancient Greece, but they were not involved in the Trojan War and their dominance primarily occurred during the Classical period of ancient Greece, which was several centuries after the timeframe mentioned.
The Mediterraneans (option D) is a general term referring to people from the region around the Mediterranean Sea. While there were various peoples from this region, it does not specifically identify the Greek-speaking people who dominated the Aegean world during the mentioned period.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. Mycenaeans. The Mycenaeans were an ancient civilization that dominated the Aegean world from about 1400 B.C. to 1200 B.C. and were indeed involved in the Trojan War.
