Solution

The correct option is D Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka’s preference for representative democracy is quite high as it is the case with Bangladesh, India, and Nepal. 43% of Sri Lankans “strongly agree” and another 45% “agree” with the statement that “the country should be governed by those chosen by the people in a fair election.” The average South Asian figures are 48% “strongly agree” and 29% “agree.” In the Sri Lankan case, the highest support for representative democracy comes from ethnic/religious minorities, the urban areas, and male voters.
