Answer 1

The correct option is C People.

In a democracy will of the people is supreme. Democracy is a form of government in which the rulers are elected by the people. In a democracy the final decision making power must rest with those elected by the people. A non-democratic government may and can respond to the people's needs, but it all depends on the wishes of the people who rule. A democracy requires that the rulers have to attend to the needs of the people. A democratic government is a better government because it is a more accountable form of government. Democracy is based on consultation and discussion. Thus, democracy involves the quality of decision-making.
