The right answer is D.

Explanation:

This statement is true for modern Western democracies. One of the top characteristic of democratic rule is the strengthening of institutions and the reduction of individual power. The purpose of democracy is not harmonious rule, but avoiding tyranny by establishing an effective separation of powers and checks and balances that impede a strong single politician from becoming a dictator.
