Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. The Ten Strategoi
Answer: The Ten Strategoi. Why not the others: "The Archons" were chosen by lot from eligible citizen classes after the reforms of 487 BC; "The Boule members" were chosen strictly by allotment machines (kleroterion) from each deme; "The Jurors" were randomly assigned to courts each morning by allotment to prevent bribery.
