Explanation:

To determine the correct option, we analyze the definitions of pure democracy (direct democracy, where people vote directly on laws) and republic (representative democracy, where people elect representatives to make laws). The second option correctly states that in a democracy, people vote directly on laws, and in a republic, people elect representatives who make laws. The first option swaps the systems, and the third option has incorrect claims about representation.

Answer:

B. In a democracy, people vote directly on laws, but in a republic, people elect representatives who make laws (assuming the second option is labeled B; adjust label as per actual option numbering in the question, e.g., if it's the middle option, use the correct identifier like the second radio button's label)
