The answer is C. It can better prevent political leaders from serving their own interests.

Explanation:

One of the major flaws in indirect democracy, which means a group of people select an individual to represent themselves is that those who are selected and voted by people eventually ends up serving for themselves and their interests rather than serving the people.

In direct democracy however, thus does not become a problem as each individual represents their pl political stance by themselves.
