Solution

The correct option is D Ruling groups could not keep up with the rising expectations of people for rights.
The 19th century saw the emergence of a strengthened middle class and the militant working-class organisations in South America. During the 20th century, however, the situation worsened due to the Great Depression.
  • The ruling groups could not keep up with the rising expectations of people and their severe opposition demanding peoples rights.
  • Mexico saw violent social protest which involved dissatisfied members of the ruling groups, middle-class intellectuals and peasant communities.
  • Countries started redefining the electoral system to conduct free and fair elections to express people’s will. New social groups came to the forefront and obtained political power through ballot box voting.
  • The USA maintained dominance over other countries through economic aid. Latin Americans were not happy with this imperialism of the US. They protested against America’s interference in their state affairs and the dollar imperialism.
