Solution

The correct option is A Greeks
Greeks got the credit of giving India the concept of a democratic government. The world's first working democracy , as far as we can tell was established by Cleisthenes in the Greek city state of Athens , around 508 BCE. The Greeks came up with the form of government called Direct Democracy which is a precursor to representative democracy. In a direct democracy , all eligible citizens vote on every issue.
