C
Council members were chosen by elections, and women could not present laws for debate in assembly.
D
Council members were chosen randomly, and men could not present laws for debate in assembly.

Explanation

Cleisthenes reorganized Athenian government so members of the Council of 500 were selected by lot, or randomly, rather than elected. Political participation was limited to male citizens; women could not present laws for debate in the assembly. Therefore, the description is that council members were chosen randomly and men could present laws for debate.
