• C. Both 'A' and 'B' are democratic.
• D. Both 'A' and 'B' are not democratic.

Answer 1

The correct option is B 'B' is democratic, while 'A' is not.

Democratic government can’t do as they please, and certainly not in a way the impinges on the rights of individuals. Equal opportunity and fair choices must be granted to every citizen of the state irrespective of their gender, caste, religion or any other social identity. These things are used to distinguish a democratic regime from a non-democratic one.
