B. Everyone can vote to determine what knowledge should be

OD. Everyone has a right to own a computer with Internet access.

Answer 1

Democratized knowledge refers to the acquisition and spread of knowledge amongst a wider part of the population, not just privileged elites such as clergy and academics. Libraries, in particular public libraries, and modern digital technology such as the Internet play a key role, as they provide the masses with open access to information.

Based on this definition, option C: “Everyone has equal access to knowledge that they can also contribute to” seems to be the closest match.
