Answer:

The correct answer is C: the election of legislators to make laws.

Step-by-step explanation:

A representative democracy is an indirect type of democracy based on the principle of electing congressman who would be in charge of the representation of a group of people that voted for him/her.

They are usually curtailed by the constitution to balance the power in the society.

It is the opposite of the direct democracy.
