I believe the answer is: B. The colonies were available for the Phoenicians to flee to

During the attack from Assyria, many of the phonecian soldiers and leaders flee to the colonies in order to seek protection. Their movement went undetected by the assyrian army at that time, which makes many of their important people able to survive and lay low until the Attack stopped.
