Model Answer

(D) Thinking accommodation of various demands.

Democracy is valued for its ability to accommodate diverse groups and demands, not for quick decisions or concentration of power.

Explanation

The source passage directly asks: "Is democracy all about coping with multiple pressures and accommodating diverse demands?" — and the cartoon caption reinforces this. Options A, B, and C are either incorrect or describe non-democratic features (concentration of power is opposed to democracy; quick decision-making suits dictatorship per Chapter 1). Examiners expect you to link the cartoon's theme to the correct strength of democracy from the chapter.
