The correct answer should be B. It can better reflect the democratic principle of majority rule. That's because direct democracy has literally everyone participate in voting on any question. Indirect or representative is this, when we choose leaders as presidents but in the end they can still do what they want and not what the majority wants since they have their own personal agendas.
