Model Answer
(C) I, III and IV
Statement II is incorrect — democracy means government by the people, not by a few individuals. Statements I, III and IV correctly describe features of democracy.
Explanation
Statement II describes oligarchy/dictatorship, not democracy. The textbook (Chapter 5) clearly states democracy promotes equality, protects rights, and ensures accountability through checks and balances. Examiners expect you to identify the odd statement and choose accordingly.
