The correct answer is A) The man could choose between death and exile if he murdered another man.
Athenians determine if a man should be exiled from Greece as a punishment for a crime in that "The man could choose between death and exile if he murdered another man."
Ancient Athenians were very strict in their punishment when dealing with a homicide. Athenian society supported the exile of the individual or death; the two were the extreme form of punishment to a homicide. These kinds of punishments also had a moral or religious connotation in that with exile or death, Athenian society got rid of this source of evil or sin.
