Solution

The correct option is D Both statements are true.
The political party which wins by majority becomes the ruling party when it forms the government. The other political parties have as important a role to play in democracy as the ruling party. They are called the opposition parties. The opposition can criticise the ruling government in the House of Legislature through debates, parliamentary motions and questions. The role of the opposition is to balance democracy. It keeps a check on the policies and actions of the government.
