Answer 1

D. Democracy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Democracy is a form of government where the power of authority lies in a group of elected representatives. They are elected by the people and depend on them to rule or make decisions for the country as a whole.

In a democracy, the elected representatives would meet in the parliament to discuss and find possible solutions and make decisions that will help the country. These representatives are elected in an election process, where the common people cast their votes. Votes can be cast by any individual, legal citizen of that nation who is an adult and above 18 years of age.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
