Hint: Suffrage, political privilege or simply privilege is the right to vote in public political elections. In some languages, sometimes in English, the right to vote is called active suffrage, which is different from passive suffrage, which represents the right to vote.

Complete step by step answer:
Saudi Arabia is an autocratic monarchy, and the king appointed members of the legislative council to consult. Prior to King Abdullah's announcement in September 2011, only men over 30 years old could serve as parliamentarians. According to his announcement in September 2011, women can now be appointed to the consultation meeting. Women participated in the consultation meeting for the first time in January 2013, occupying 30 seats. Women were unable to vote or stand for the Saudi Arabia country's first local elections in decades, in either 2005 or 2011. They campaigned for law in the 2011 local elections and failed to try to register as voters. In September 2011, King Abdullah announced that women would be allowed to vote and stand for 2015 local elections. Although King Abdullah was no longer alive during the 2015 local elections, women were allowed to vote and run for the first time in the country's history.
So, the correct answer is Option C.
