Model Answer

(C) Transparency

A government's feature that allows citizens to find out if decisions were taken through correct procedures is called transparency.

Explanation

The textbook (Chapter 5, "Accountable, responsive and legitimate government") explicitly states: "a citizen who wants to know if a decision was taken through the correct procedures can find this out… This is known as transparency." Examiners expect you to recall this exact term. Do not confuse it with accountability (being answerable for actions) or responsiveness (attending to citizens' needs).
