Answer:
The correct response is Option C: To play an active role in electing government officials.
Explanation:
A democracy is a system of government where in principle each eligible citizen is expected to participate in the selection of the governing authorities. In some countries voting is compulsory and you are fined if you do not vote. Many countries in Latin America for example follow this model of compulsory voting when citizens are of legal age. In other systems, the vote is not compulsory and eligible voters must register to vote if they want to participate. This is the system of voting in federal elections in the United States.
