If respect is given only on the basis of office and wealth which broader democratic value is challenged?

Correct answer: Equal human dignity

Direct answer: D is correct. Equal human dignity means that every person deserves basic respect because they are a human being, not merely because they hold office, possess wealth, or have social influence. A democratic culture should not treat powerful people as automatically more worthy and poor or ordinary people as less worthy. A is wrong because an election campaign is a method of seeking support, not the value threatened here. B is about public revenue and has no direct connection with personal respect. C is a place or arrangement for voting, not a principle of human worth. D is correct because judging respect only by office and wealth creates an unequal hierarchy of human value. This does not mean every person has identical roles or achievements; it means basic dignity should be respected equally. Memory cue: positions can differ, dignity does not.
