The correct answer is C. Direct democracy

In a direct democracy, all people gather and vote on things and make decisions. This is how democracy in ancient Greece worked. Of course, you had to be eligible for voting but when you became eligible, you would vote on everything and wouldn't have a representative body that votes instead of you like most current states now have.
