C1 and 3 only ✓ Correct
D2, 3 and 4 only
Correct answer: (C) 1 and 3 only — Items 1 and 3 are not found in Indian democracy, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Items 1 and 3 are not found in Indian democracy, so that is the answer.
★India follows one person, one vote, not plural voting.
★India uses the first-past-the-post system, not proportional representation.
★Universal adult suffrage is very much a feature of India.
★Decentralised governance is also a feature, through Panchayati Raj.
★So only plural voting and proportional representation are absent.
★Thus the answer is items 1 and 3 only.
