The correct answer is D.
Direct democracy is exercised when voters, instead of electing political representatives that would govern and conduct policymaking on their behalf, are directly involved and can choose to support those policies that they consider to be more appropiate. <u>Option D is the only situation in which the policy choice is directly made by citizens. </u>
<em>Options A, B or C cannot be correct because in all of them the decision-making is performed by a body or an institution constituted by representatives that have been elected by citizens: the Congress, the town hall or the President. </em>
Nowadays, most democracies in the world are representative democracies were citizens whose representatives through suffrage, in opposition to direct democracies.
Who pays for the school education you are receiving? If your family owns a home, then you and your neighbors in the community (other homeowners) are paying for much of it through property taxes on your home. The majority of funds for public education--as well as guidelines and plans for local public education--are provided by the local areas where that education takes place. You have a local school district with a local school board.
Now, there are state funds provided too, and states set state-wide guidelines for education that all schools in the state must meet. And their are national guidelines and some funding programs too. But the majority of control of local schools still is in the hands of the local communities where that education takes place.
So support your local school board and cheer those who help guide funding and policy for your school!
