Which argument is not in favour of democracy?

Correct answer: Corruption may occur in democracy

Direct answer: Option C, the possibility that corruption may occur in democracy, is not an argument in favour. The question asks for a criticism, so identify the option describing a weakness or danger. Step by step: accountability means rulers can be questioned; dignity means citizens are treated as equal persons; handling differences means disagreements can be settled peacefully; corruption means public power or resources may be misused. Therefore A, B and D are advantages or positive claims, while C is a possible negative feature. Option A is wrong because greater accountability is a benefit: elected rulers can be questioned and replaced. Option B is wrong because respect for dignity supports democracy and equal citizenship. Option C is correct because corruption is a criticism, even though democracy can create institutions to control it. Option D is wrong because peaceful management of differences helps prevent violence and supports democratic stability. Do not misunderstand: democracy does not automatically eliminate corruption, but its institutions can expose and punish it. Memory cue: accountability, dignity and peaceful difference are “for”; corruption is “against”.
