Remember that a democracy is characterized by the rule of the majority, this means that all the citizens have the rigth and obligation to take part in the decisions of their government. Democracy is achieved by choosing and replacing the governments by free and fair elections, the active participation in politics and civic life, a rule of law, meaning that the laws and procedures are applied to all the citizens equally, and a very important aspect, the protection of individual and minotiry rights.

These are the basic elements of every democratic system.

As you can see, the correct answer is: C) Accepting majority rule while insisting on minority rights.
