The correct answer is C: All Spartan men lived in military barracks until age 30 and were only allowed to visit their wives. Spartan boys were taken from their families at age 7 for military training and lived separately until they turned 30. This strict military upbringing was central to Spartan culture, emphasizing discipline and preparation for battle.
