The direct democracy or pure democracy it´s a form of democracy in which the people directly decides on policy initiatives, it differs from the representative democracy; the one that it´s currently established in the majority of the countries; because in that the people choose the representantives and they are those who decide the policies to carry on. In the representative democracy the people do not govern, it´s a common mistake to mix both concepts.

Two different forms of direct democracy are participatory democracy and deliberative democracy. The deliberative democracy is a form in which the deliberation it´s a central matter to the decisions and it is seen as an amalgalm of the direct and the representative democracies. It holds that for a democratic decision to be legitimate, it must be preceded by an authentic deliberation not a mere voting.

The participatory democracy is one that emphasizes the broad participation of everybody but it demands to the citizens to be more involved in the political participation.

I think that a group taking a vote on something is an example of a participatory democracy because everyone have the same power to create consensus and, at last it would win the iniciative that obtain more votes. If the example was a representative democracy then the group would have to vote for only one person to make a decision and then the group will follow the "leader" choice althought it goes against the majority of what the group wants.

I hope the answer to be useful for you. Regards.

Democracy is the "rule of the people" (from Greek: demos: people, ;Kratos: rule): so the group deciding all together (rather than one of them) is an example of democracy.

It's direct because everyone votes directly on something, rather than represented by someone else.

They were recovered in 2007 by the cavers Alejandro Álvarez, Alberto Nava and Franco Attolini, of the Tulum Speleological Project (PET), dedicated to the registry of the underwater heritage of the region. After seven years of research, a multidisciplinary team from USA, Canada and Mexico, whose principal investigator of the research on "Naia", James Chatters, an archaeologist and paleontologist, reported in 2014, that "Naia" has already contributed to understand the origins of the first Americans and her DNA confirms the idea that "a single group of Asian emigrants gave rise to both the earliest American settlers and modern Native Americans". So, right answer is B. Members from one single, genetically uniform population populated the Americas from at least 16,000 years ago.
