Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

Nepal was a third wave nation

In 1990, the king agreed for a transition to constitutional monarchy. In a constitutional monarchy, the monarch shares power with a constitutionally organised government. In 1990's, Nepal gained democracy and became a ‘third wave nation’. Any nation that gained democracy after 1974 is referred to as a ‘third wave nation’.
