Answer 1

Monarchy -Aristocracy --Tyranny - Democracy

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the correct answer because in the first period Athens was a Monarchy. Legendary king Theseus was the one that unified Athens under his rule. Still, after the death of last king Codro, monarchy was abolished. Power was given to a hand of influential people, who were bringing decisions.
