In which situation do Fundamental Rights stop democracy from becoming mere majoritarianism?

When the majority wants to erase a minority's language and culture

The correct answer is A. Democracy is more than counting votes; it also requires protection of the rights and dignity of minorities. If a majority tries to erase a minority’s language or culture, Fundamental Rights—especially equality, cultural and educational protections, and related freedoms—limit what the majority may do. Constitutional rights prevent the majority from turning numerical strength into unlimited power. B describes a generally compatible democratic principle, not a conflict showing why rights restrain majoritarianism. C is an example of judicial fairness, and D is an example of peaceful democratic participation; neither presents the majority attacking minority identity. Memory cue: democracy means majority rule with minority rights, not majority rule without limits.
