Solution

The correct option is D representative
Democracy may have several types such as direct democracy and representative democracy. In a direct democracy, people participate directly in the formation of the government and the making of laws. Direct democracy is sometimes also referred to as real democracy.
Example: Switzerland.

In a representative democracy, people are not directly involved in the making of laws. Instead, they choose their representatives through elections to form a government. Example: India, USA, Brazil.
