Answer:

B. A large number of citizens

Step-by-step explanation:

Athenian trials were decided by a group of jurors. These jurors were the citizens of the city, who were randomly drawn to compose the jury, if they met certain requirements. These courts are believed to have been decided by some 6,000,000 jurors, all citizens of Athens.

These citizens had to be at least 30 years old and not have physical or psychological defects, that is, they could not have any type of disability.
