C) female

Explanation:

Athens is considered to be the cradle of democracy in the world, but in practice it was not as most people would imagine. A good example is what were the requirements for gaining a citizenship of this ancient Greek city-state. In order to get a citizenship the person had to have full 18 years of age. It had to be a free male, as if it was slave in question than citizenship was impossible to be granted. Also, the free male, that had 18 years of age, had to be born in Athens, otherwise he was not going to be considered as Athenian, so citizenship was not going to be granted. The citizenship was granted by a council of elders, and it was usually the closest male in the family that was leading the ceremony for granting a citizenship. The females was discriminated against in every level, and they were not even included in the requirements for citizenship, as if they didn't existed. Also, the role of the women in Athens was to be home, take care of the household, and raise the children, nothing more than that.
