Solution

The correct option is B Universal adult franchise
In the nineteenth century struggles for democracy often centered around political equality, freedom, and justice. One major demand was the right for every adult citizen to vote. Many European countries that were becoming democratic did not initially allow all people to vote. Those struggling for democracy wanted this right granted universally to all adults- men or women, rich or poor, white or black. This is called the Universal adult franchise.
