Model Answer

(C) Introduction of universal adult suffrage

The conservative order after 1815 preserved monarchies, imposed censorship laws, and suppressed liberal-nationalist movements — but did NOT introduce universal adult suffrage.

Explanation

The passage clearly states that conservative regimes after 1815 were autocratic, restored monarchies (Treaty of Vienna), imposed censorship laws, and suppressed dissent. Universal adult suffrage was actually a demand opposed by conservatives — even liberal ideology at the time only granted suffrage to property-owning men. So (C) is the odd one out. In MCQs asking for "NOT a feature," eliminate the three that are explicitly mentioned and select the remaining one.
