Answer and Solution

Answer

B. Democratic governments are slow to act

Solution:

A common misconception is that democratic governments are slow to act, which leads some to question their efficiency. While it is true that decision-making in democracies can be slower due to deliberative processes, this does not mean that the outcomes are less effective. The other options misinterpret democracy's nature and diversity.
