In a democratic family parents may take the final decision yet how can democratic behaviour remain?

Correct answer: If they hear children's reasonable views and explain reasons

The correct answer is A: parents can take the final decision while still hearing children and explaining the reasons. Democracy is not simply the absence of all authority. It also means respect, consultation, openness, and willingness to consider the views of affected people. In a family, parents may have responsibility for the final choice, but democratic behaviour requires them to let children speak without fear and to give a reasonable explanation. A is correct because it combines responsibility with participation and respect. B is wrong because silencing people removes participation. C is wrong because fear is coercion, not democratic discussion. D is wrong because questions can help clarify a decision and are not automatically insults. Memory cue: authority may remain, but it should be accountable and respectful.
