Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We live in a democracy, or at least we used to.

A: Never encourage a government to become authoritarian let alone encourage it to remain so.

B: No but protesting some actions are the rights and duties of all citizens.

C: I suppose this is probably the answer you should give, but it is not the best course of action. You should only obey a government's action if it is acting in the best interests of the people it rules.

D: No doubt a government would like this, but it is not democratic if that's it's objective.
