If you look at the statements, you can immediately see that the statements C and D are contradictory - so it must be one of them.

The correct answer is: D. Men and women over age 16 were considered citizens. Women were not considered citizens, and also it was not enough to be a man and 16 to be a citizen - one also had to not be a foreigner or slave.
