    1. Option (b) is correct. ‘Checks and balances’ in a democratic country maintain the separation of powers among the legislature, executive and judiciary. Each organ has defined powers and can restrain the others from exceeding their authority. This system prevents dictatorship, encourages accountability and protects citizens’ rights, ensuring that no branch of government becomes too powerful or dominates the functioning of democracy.
