Answer 2

"B.Paid juries of citizens heard legal cases and made decisions" and "C.
Power was in the hands of the people and all citizens were equal before the law" and "D. Though all citizens were equal, only the wealthy and well-born were likely to serve as jurors or council members." are correct. But it should be clear that citizenship had a narrower definition than it does today.
