Why are major decisions in a democracy taken by elected leaders, rather than by the military or judiciary?
Correct: B
In a democracy, major decisions are taken by elected leaders because they are chosen by and are directly accountable to the people. If they make unpopular or wrong decisions, the people can vote them out in the next elections. This accountability mechanism is central to democratic governance. The military and judiciary, while important, are not directly elected to make political decisions for the populace.
