The correct option is A

In a democracy, if the power to decide is dispersed, it is not possible to take quick decisions and enforce them.

Answer: The correct answer is option (a) – In a democracy, if the power to decide is dispersed, it is not possible to take quick decisions and enforce them.

People are the source of all political power in a democracy because the Central Government, State Governments and Local body Governments are elected by the people through elections. If the Government does not perform to the expectations of the people, the Governments will be voted out in the elections which are conducted periodically in democracy.
