Explanation

The question asks for an advantage of democracy over dictatorship. Options A and B match points from the textbook list but are not among the given answer choices — the answer choices are different from the question options. Among the answer choices provided (C: allows room to correct mistakes, D: provides a method to resolve conflicts), both are textbook-listed advantages, but C is the most direct contrast with dictatorship, where rulers face no accountability. The source passage explicitly lists "Allows room to correct mistakes" as a democratic advantage. In MCQs, always match the answer choice exactly to the textbook language.
