Solution

The correct option is D Economic inequalities among the people.
Democracies are not successful in eliminating economic disparities. In fact, the attempt to eliminate economic inequalities in democracy has been very slow. The democratically elected government focuses on the poor only at the time when elections are near, and after the elections, they do not bother to address the problems of the poor citizens. The problem of poverty is not resolved by any political party. The poor people in many countries are dependent upon the rich classes for their survival.
