Answer 1

The correct answer is India.

Key Points

India is the largest democracy in the world which means that India is a democratic country with the largest population in the world.
A democracy refers to a system of government where the citizens exercise power by voting.
The parliamentary system of government is the one in which the executive is responsible to the legislature for its policies and acts.
The Constitution of India provides for a parliamentary form of government, both at the Centre and in the states. Hence statement A and D are correct.

Additional Information

Direct democracy, known as pure democracy, involves citizens directly participating in democratic decision-making.
Direct democracies can function through citizen assemblies, referendums, and initiatives, in which voters vote on issues rather than politicians or parties. India does not follow this.
A recall election (or recall referendum) is a procedure by which voters can remove an elected official from office through a direct vote before their term has ended. There is no mention of recall in constitution of India.
