Answer:

I'm pretty sure it's D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cartoon has a 'cash' head, so it has to do something similar to that. It couldn't be B, C, or A, so it only leaves us with D.

Answer:

The correct answer is option D) "Politics is corrupted by the wealthy."

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been known through time, how men with wealth try to buy politics with their money. They buy voters and essentially try to make way through the use of wealth.

This cartoon clearly depicts that people with brains are behind from the people with wealth in place of brains. The democracy is somehow also been sold through the hands of the wealthy people.
