The correct answer is A. The initiative, the referendum, and the recall allow citizens more influence over the laws and leaders of their state, as they are ways of public participation in politics.

Public participation is a term for the involvement of individuals or groups who are affected in some way by, or interested in, a proposal or resolution that is subject to a decision-making process. Public participation is important for governance and aims to gather data, discuss improvements, and inform the people or groups involved so that together they can decide what to do so that everyone can benefit.
