I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. A major contribution of ancient Athens to Western civilization would be democracy. Athens was a city in which the citizens had the right to select the leader or dispose him off if they think fit. This was actually the height of Democracy during that time.

B. Democracy is a major contribution of ancient Athens to Western civilization. The ancient Greeks were well known for being a democratic nation, which has traveled all the way to modern times. Democracy is an important political ideology - if it weren't for the Greeks, maybe we wouldn't be as equal (if we are equal) as we are today.
