Explanation:only men from the patrician class could become senators

The correct answer is D. Members of the Senate were originally Patricians.

Explanation:

The Roman Senate originally consisted of the chiefs of the patrician families, descendants of Romulus and Remus. It constituted a council of hundreds that advised the king in important matters.

At the beginning of the Republic, the Senate remained politically weak, while the magistrates cumulated all the powers. The transition from monarchy to republican institutions was gradual and it took several generations before the Senate was able to assert its power over the magistrates. Towards the end of the Republic, starting from the reforms of the Gracchi, the powers of the Senate declined.

Following the constitutional reforms of the Emperor Diocletian, the Senate lost all political power and would never regain the power it had previously held.
