Solution

The correct option is A Draco
Athens is the capital of Attica state. This was an ideal democratic city state in Greece. It had monarchy in the beginning and later had developed into oligarchy. The rich were electing an administrator named Archon. A person by name Draco enforced inhuman laws in Athens.These were later modified and made human friendly by Solaan. After Solaan, anarchy set in Athens. The middle class and the working class that had emerged due to commerce, business and industries joined hands and played a significant role in removing the dictators and restoring back democracy.
