Detailed Solution

The women’s organisations demand reservation of one-third seats for women in the parliament as women’s representation in parliament has just reached only 10%. The correct statements regarding this are that it is democratic to have women participation in the legislature and is undemocratic to have only 10% of women’s representation in parliament.
In a democratic nation, every citizen of the country has the right to vote and even to contest elections, after qualifying a certain age criterion which plays a vital role in the election process as well. Apart from this, there are no limitations in a democratic nation that regulates a person from contesting or voting in elections, so if there is lower participation of women in elections which leads to their lower representation in the parliament indicates a problem regarding women, which may force them to have lower participation in the election process, which is undemocratic. However, the presence of women’s organisations and also a certain number of women being representatives in parliament despite their low numbers is a sign of democracy.
