Answer:

B. Males over 21 could debate important laws

Step-by-step explanation:

Athens democracy also known as the world's earliest form of democracy was largely marked by participation of the citizens in the running of the political affairs in the state. Recognized citizens who were to participate in the legislation were adult males not just anybody living in Athens.

The council was presided by 400 members who had a say in matters discussed at the assembly. Solon who was the leader at the time, laid down the rules on who could participate in legislation.
