Why can media and public reaction to a government decision be important?

Correct answer: It helps the government understand public concerns

Direct answer: A is correct—media and public reaction can help the government understand people’s concerns. In a democracy, a policy affects real people, so citizens may support it, question it, or point out difficulties and unfair effects. Newspapers, television, digital media, public meetings, and other forms of discussion can communicate these reactions. The government can then explain the decision, reconsider parts of it, or improve implementation. A does not mean that every public reaction automatically changes a policy; it means that public feedback is an important democratic input. B is wrong because criticism does not automatically close Parliament. C is wrong because public reaction does not remove the judiciary. D is wrong because electoral rolls are prepared through an election-administration process. Memory cue: public reaction is feedback, not an automatic command.
