Explanation
★Deliberative democracy is a theory that seeks to refine the familiar framework of liberal democracy through reasoned public discussion rather than mere vote counting.
★Its core claim is that legitimate decisions arise from open, inclusive deliberation in which citizens justify their views with reasons others can accept.
★The term was coined by Joseph Bessette in 1980, and the model is closely associated with Jurgen Habermas.
★It is not a theory devoted exclusively to human rights, nor one that makes the environment its central agenda, so those options miss the point.
★It also does not aim to bring in socialism, which makes that option wrong.
★So the option about refining the framework of liberal democracy is correct.
