In ancient Greece, the groups that were considered citizens varied depending on the city-state. However, in terms of the commonly recognized citizens, the answer would be A. aristocrats, C. small farmers, and F. women.
Aristocrats, who were wealthy landowners and members of the upper class, enjoyed the privileges and rights of citizenship. They held positions of power and influence in ancient Greek society.
Small farmers, also known as yeomen, were independent land-owning individuals. They were considered citizens and were responsible for serving in the military and participating in politics.
Women, although their rights were limited compared to men, were considered citizens in ancient Greece. However, they did not have the same political and legal rights as men and were generally excluded from public life.
Tenant farmers, slaves, foreigners, and other non-citizen groups would not have been considered citizens in ancient Greece. Tenant farmers were individuals who rented land and worked on it but did not own it, and slaves were considered property and had no citizenship rights. Foreigners, or metics, were non-citizens who lived in ancient Greek city-states but did not have the same rights as citizens.
Therefore, the correct options for groups considered citizens in ancient Greece would be A. aristocrats, C. small farmers, and F. women.
