C.All the citizens attended assemblies that were held for deciding upon matters.
D.Appointment for many positions were made through lottery.
Explanation
In Athenian democracy, only free men above the age of 30 were recognized as full citizens. Women, slaves, and foreigners (metics) were excluded from citizenship and had no political rights. All male citizens were expected to serve in the army and navy, attended the assembly (Ekklesia) to decide on matters, and many positions were filled by lottery (sortition). Hence the statement that women were also recognized as full citizens is incorrect.
