Model Answer

(C) It transforms individuals from passive subjects to active citizens with rights and agency

Democracy distributes power among citizens, promotes equality, enhances individual dignity, and gives everyone a voice in shaping public policies.

Source: Outcomes of Democracy, Chapter 5; Forms of Power-Sharing, Chapter 1

Explanation

The key idea is that democracy promotes equality, dignity, and citizen participation — turning people from passive subjects into active citizens. Options A, C, and D describe only partial or incidental roles (voter, taxpayer, politician), not the fundamental transformation democracy brings. Examiners look for the word "citizens" and the idea of rights + agency. Always link your MCQ choice to a core democratic principle from the chapter.
