Detailed Solution

The reasons for democracy being not able to function without political parties are they mobilise public opinion and promise to make policy changes and Governments formed of independent candidates are unstable.
A political party is a group of people who have come together to contest elections and hold power in government. Political parties mobilise public opinion and promise to make policy changes, which an independent candidate cannot do. Independent legislature members can form governments, but they are unstable.

The second option cannot be a reason because corruption is a drawback of any form of government.
