If electoral participation of weaker sections decreases what deficiency will arise in representative democracy?

Correct answer: Inclusive representation will weaken

Direct answer: A, inclusive representation will weaken. Representative democracy means that people choose representatives to speak and work for the whole population. Weaker sections may include poor people, disadvantaged communities, minorities, women, or people whose voices are often less visible. If they do not participate in elections, their needs may receive less attention, and elected bodies may not reflect the diversity of society. Participation includes registering, learning about candidates and issues, voting freely, and sometimes standing for election. It does not mean that only members of a group can represent it; rather, broad participation helps all representatives understand and respond to different concerns. Option A is correct because reduced participation creates a gap in representation and inclusion. Option B is wrong because participation does not by itself end hereditary rule. Option C is wrong because the question concerns representation inside democracy, not necessarily foreign policy. Option D is unrelated to democratic quality. Memory cue: fewer voices in elections can mean fewer voices in government.
