Detailed Solution

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
A government that makes choices quickly may do so in ways that are unpopular with the people and could lead to long-term issues. The democratic government, in contrast, takes more time to follow procedures before making a decision. But because it adhered to procedures, its choices are more popular with the public and more useful. Non-democratic leaders are not required to worry about public opinion or majority votes in assemblies. They can therefore make decisions and put them into action very quickly and effectively. Contrarily, democracy is predicated on the notion of deliberation and negotiation. Therefore, a delay will undoubtedly occur. Therefore, the time investment that democracy makes may be worthwhile.
