What was the Council of 500?

Answer
A
a council of citizens who met annually to discuss important issues
B
a council of long-serving citizens who selected and voted on important issues
C
a group of randomly chosen citizens who voted on the issues selected by the Assembly
D
a group of randomly chosen citizens who decided which issues the Assembly would debate

Explanation

The Council of 500 was a group of Athenian citizens chosen by lot. Its members prepared business for the Assembly and decided which issues would be brought up for debate. The Assembly, rather than the Council, voted on those issues, so D is correct: the Council decided what the Assembly would debate.
