Transparency means that a citizen has the right and the means to examine the process of decision-making, i.e., they can find out whether decisions were taken through correct procedures.
The term is directly defined in Chapter 5. Examiners expect you to mention two key ideas: (1) the right to examine/know, and (2) the process of decision-making/correct procedures. Avoid vague answers like "openness" without context.
