A. It can be more responsive to citizens' interests.

Direct democracy allows citizens to directly participate in decision-making processes and have a direct say in the laws and policies that affect them. As a result, it can be more responsive to citizens' interests since the decisions are made by the people themselves rather than through representatives. In contrast, indirect democracy (representative democracy) involves electing representatives to make decisions on behalf of the citizens, which may not always align perfectly with the interests and preferences of the entire population.

It is important to consider that both forms have their advantages and disadvantages.

I hope this helped!
