The assembly of ancient Athens also called Ecclesia was the principal assembly of the democracy of ancient Athens. The assembly was open to all male citizens, but to be citizens they had to be qualified. Let us take a look at what was needed to be suited:

you had to be a wealthy landowner  - False - Any adult male citizen could attend, nothing related with wealth.

you could be a bond-servant working off deb  - False - The Athenian society was built in class, with little to no movement at all. Servants were not qualified to become citizens, thus not qualified to the Ecclesia.

you would be chosen by lottery  - True - The officials of the assembly, once qualified as citizens, could be selected via lottery.

you could only be a free man  - True - Being a free man was a strong pre-requisite, given that once a slave you would never be qualified for citizenship and finally not qualified for the assembly.

you had to serve whether you needed to work to support your family or not - False - The category of male citizens had different levels and in some of them serve the military was not required.

As a result, only 2 options are correct: you would be chosen by lottery
; you could only be a free man.
