Answer 1

Answer:  A. Direct democracy.

Explanation:

Direct democracy is the purest type of democracy that exists, in it, everyone has a voice and vote on every political decision that will be made. It was common in ancient Greece where all men had the right to vote on the decisions to be made.

This type of democracy is common in small groups, for example when electing the president of a classroom, as everyone has the opportunity to give their opinion and select the person who will be the president.

On the contrary, most countries have a representative democracy system, where representatives of the people make decisions for the group.
