Answer:

The correct answer is C. Under a representative democracy, citizens can't vote directly on an issue.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a representative democracy, the people exercise their sovereignty through the representative bodies that are elected by vote. Therefore, citizens can not make decisions by direct vote, but they are taken by the representatives elected by them.
