D
Correct answer
Explanation
Democracy is the government in which the people hold the ruling power either directly or through elected representatives like we have in India, whereas fascism is a system of government characterized by rigid one-party dictatorship and communism is a system based on the ownership of all property by the community as a whole. As fascism and communism are contrary to democracy, therefore 'antithesis' replaces the blank. Hence, (4) is the answer.
