Model Answer

(B) Democracy involves deliberation, negotiation and following procedures.

Democratic governments must consult, debate and follow set procedures before taking decisions, unlike non-democratic rulers who can act quickly without such checks.

Source: Accountable, responsive and legitimate government, Chapter 5

Explanation

The passage directly states: "Democracy is based on the idea of deliberation and negotiation. So, some delay is bound to take place." Non-democratic rulers need not worry about assemblies, majorities or public opinion, making them faster. Option B captures this exactly. The other options are not supported anywhere in the text.
