Answer and Solution

Answer

B. It promotes harmonious living among citizens.

Solution:

The correct answer is B: 'It promotes harmonious living among citizens.' Democracy aims at fostering peace and respect among diverse social groups. A is incorrect because democracy does not guarantee permanent conflict resolution, and C, while desirable, is not the sole expectation of democracy. D contradicts the principle of democracy itself, which values minority opinions.
