The direct answer is B: legal remedy and accountability. An appeal gives a citizen a lawful way to ask a higher authority or court to examine a decision. The steps are: a government decision may be wrong or unfair; the citizen challenges it; an appellate body reviews the reasons and evidence; the decision may be corrected, cancelled, or reconsidered. This makes officials answerable and protects citizens from arbitrary action. Option A, arbitrary power, is the opposite result: an appeal limits arbitrary power. Option B is correct because it names both the remedy available to the citizen and the accountability imposed on government. Option C, secret order, is not strengthened by an appeal. Option D, end of rights, is wrong because appeal helps protect rights. Exam cue: whenever a question mentions appeal, review, or challenge, connect it with remedy, fairness, and accountability.
