In Athens only men were citizens: women, but also other people, such as slaves, foreigners and men who have not served in the army were not considered citizens.

In Sparta the situation was different as women had a lot more power, and they often voiced their political opinions. Even so, they were not full citizens.

The correct answer is c: in both of them only men were citizens.
