Answer 2

Answer:    D. Tribal and religious groups

Explanation:   Democratic governments are by their nature based on the will of the people, expressed in democratic rights, such as the right to freedom of religion, political freedom, etc. In the Middle East there are multi-century  beliefs about theocratic, that is, religious and tribal systems, which presuppose the religious leader as inviolable.
