Answer:

A, a challenge for Medicare and Social Security

Explanation:

An aging population is a problem many developed countries face today. It occurs because of the demographic situation today: low or negative birth rates.

An aging population means that there are more retired than working people. The retired people don't pay taxes and many rely on governmental medical and social programs such as Medicare and Social Security. These programs have to be financed from public funds and the absence of taxes means there may be not enough money to cover for the expenses in the future.

The Greeks believed in the vote of every citizen of a city or region. Citizenship was available to men only and they would have to be landowning and free. The word democracy comes from the Greek word "demos" meaning from the people.

Ancient Greece was more committed to democratic ideals.
