d. They could not take part in the government

Explanation:

Only the patricians could hold important offices, such as position of consul. Plebeians were felt threatened and decided to raise their voice. That is why in 490 BC they decided to show their dissatisfaction. This led to first laws in Ancient Rome. It also led to plebeians gaining political rights in the country.
