Which individuals qualified for citizenship in ancient Athens?

Answer
A
free males who had been born in Athens and were at least 18 years old
B
free males who had been born in Greece and were at least 18 years old
C
free individuals who had been born in Athens and were at least 18 years old
D
free males who had immigrated to Greece and were at least 18 years old

Explanation

In ancient Athens, citizenship was limited to free men who met the age requirement and were born in Athens. Being born elsewhere in Greece or immigrating to Greece did not qualify someone for Athenian citizenship, and women were not citizens. Therefore, the correct choice is free males born in Athens who were at least 18 years old.
