c) the rights of the minorities may be taken away in the process.
d) the rights of many are suppressed in favor of the rights of few

Explanation:

In a parliamentary - style system (the context likely being the UK here), the leader of the party with a majority in the House of Commons is invited by the monarch to form a government and becomes the prime minister. So the effective choice is made by the House of Commons. In direct democracy, the will of the majority can sometimes over - ride the rights of minorities as decisions are made directly by the people without sufficient safeguards for minority interests.

Answer:

For the first question: B. The House of Commons
For the second question: C. The rights of the minorities may be taken away in the process.
