b. democratic deficit.

Explanation:

Democratic deficit is the inability of a government or non-government organization to apply the democratic process in the functioning of its organizations. If an organization lacks the participation of the people it is mainly concerned with, then the procedure is termed as democratic deficit.

In the case of international bodies and non-government organizations, common people have no scope for participation in the decision-making process and therefore it creates the problem of democratic deficit.
