in sparta, only nobility could become citizens.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: "In Sparta, nobody could become a citizen" is incorrect. Sparta had citizens (Spartiates) who were part of the ruling class.
• Option 2: "In Athens, both men and women could become citizens" is incorrect. In Athens, women were not considered citizens.
• Option 3: "In Athens, only men could become citizens" is correct. Athenian citizenship was restricted to free - born, adult, male Athenians.
• Option 4: "In Sparta, only nobility could become citizens" is incorrect. In Sparta, citizens (Spartiates) were not just nobility; they were a specific group of free - born males who underwent the agoge (military training), but not all nobles were citizens and not all citizens were nobles in the traditional sense.

Answer:

C. In Athens, only men could become citizens (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with C being "In Athens, only men could become citizens")
