B Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct answer. Pakistan and Bangladesh failed as democracies and reverted to military rule. Nepal became a democracy when its ruler became a constitutional monarch to be guided by elected leaders. But the new king of Nepal dismissed the elected government and in 2005 took back political freedoms that people had won in the previous decade.
