C. spoken for by a male citizen

Explanation:

   Ancient Greek women could not participate in public and political debates, even though they were allowed to attend religious festivals and attend plays, as well as to go to shrines and oracles. Sacrifices to the gods were forbidden to them, since they were exclusively male rituals. They could neither own property nor run business, nor could they represent themselves in court, being always under the tutelage of their husbands or close male relatives.

   Respectable married women probably wore veils to leave their homes, where they did not leave alone and could not talk to anyone along the way. Outside the house, by the way, no activity was offered to a Greek lady of good family unless she was poor and needed wage labor. There were, therefore, no women nurses, actresses, scribes, or the like, because such activities did not even exist for women, who were not even educated. If a woman were found at a party, she was most likely a professional courtesan.
