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.
