Detailed Solution

Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
The fourth democratic difficulty is that many parties do not appear to provide voters with a real option. There is no party presenting a middle ground in vast and democratic countries like India, where the majority of the population has usually divided between two opposing philosophies and beliefs. As a result, rather than selecting an ideal decision-making panel, it becomes a game of this vs. that. The fundamental and ideological issues that most political parties face are the same. There is no significant choice for voters. Even leaders switch parties from time to time. When all parties present the same options and incentives, voters are unable to make an informed decision. As a result, the democratic playground lacks sufficient purpose and options.
