@Asp is right : Greeks refers to a specific family/species that's why "The" should be used before Greeks.

The Greeks refers to native of Greece. So to make them certain it is used.

I think B is incorrect because A part sentence has to end.
And the correct sentence should be Troy was taken by Greeks and this formed the basis of a story which has become famous.

It should be either "it became famous" or "it had become famous" because the whole sentence is in past tense.
