The correct answer is A) citizenship was granted to landowning men of Roman heritage or those who had it granted by a general of the Roman military through pledging loyalty to the republic. Citizens were able to be in the assemblies and elect assembly members.

In the Roman Republic, citizenship was mainly granted to freeborn males of Roman descent, particularly those who owned land. Additionally, individuals could acquire citizenship through military service or by being granted it by a Roman general, often as a reward for loyalty or service. One of the main benefits of citizenship was the right to participate in the political process, including the ability to vote in assemblies and to run for certain political offices.
