The correct answer is A. Citizens elect leaders who vote on the issues in a representative democracy, and citizens vote on the issues in a direct democracy.
Explanation:
Democracy is a type of political system in which the decisions are directly or indirectly made by the citizens. Due to this, democracy can be classified as direct democracy if the citizens are the ones that vote to made the decisions as it occurs in town meetings in which people from a community gather and directly decide on issues of the community or as indirect democracy in the case citizens select representatives that should defend citizens' interests and decide on issues as it occurs in the case of presidents, governors, mayors, etc.
Thus, the main difference between these two concepts is that in representative democracy citizens elect leaders, while in direct democracy citizens directly decide (Option A).

The economic growth rates gives information on how fast the economy is growing,and is calculated by comparing the economic output (measured as the Gross Domestic Product or GDP) of two subsequent periods.
<u>The two main determinants of GDP/economic growth are:</u>
- Productivity increases caused by more efficient use of inputs (labor, capital) and implementation of innovation.
- Accumulation of physical capital
<u>Effects of economic growth</u>
- Larger amount of goods and services are available in the country and ready for consumption
- High employments levels, as workers are necessary to manufacture that large quantity of goods and services. As GDP has grown, so have done employment figures.
- More employment brings boosts on aggregate demand and generate further growth as business will keep on trying to serve the whole demand.
- As demand grows it is quite likely that prices do so too, therefore economic growth would increase the inflation rate (not necessarily a problem if such growth is not too large and remains stable).
- Productivity increases and implementation of innovations make national firms more efficient and competitive in the international markets.
