How do elections become a tool to make government accountable?

Correct answer: People can judge the work at the next election

Direct answer: B is correct. Accountability means that those who exercise public power must explain their actions and face consequences for their performance. Elections create this connection because a government must return to the people after its term. Voters can examine its work, promises, decisions, and results, then support it again or choose another party or candidate. B correctly explains how the possibility of losing public support encourages governments to respond to citizens and remain answerable. A is wrong because forgetting people would weaken accountability, not create it. C is wrong because democratic leaders are not permanently secure in office; elections can change them. D is wrong because cancelling voter lists is not the normal democratic mechanism for accountability and would undermine participation. Memory cue: accountability means answer now and face voters later.
