Answer: (A), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A Democracy leads to poltical instability because leaders keep changing frequently.
C Political competition and power play leads to immoral politics in democracy.
D Democracy leads to delays in decision-making.

The leaders keep changing in a democracy. New leaders emerge in almost every election. This could lead to major changes in the way government functions and result in political instability. Elected representatives have been known to switch parties in exchange for money or power in India. Political competition and power play affect democracy adversely. Consultation of vast numbers of people leads to delays in decision making. Elected leaders may not know the best interest of the people. It might lead to bad decisions.
