The correct answer is option 1, Greek. The term `democracy` has been derived from the Greek language. In Greek, `demos` refers to the people, and `kratos` means power or rule. Therefore, `democracy` literally means `rule by the people`. It is a system in which the citizens have the power to participate in the decision-making process and have a say in the governance of their country. The concept of democracy can be traced back to ancient Greece, specifically to the city-state of Athens, where it was first practiced in the 5th century BCE. It has since evolved and been adopted by many countries around the world as a form of government that values individual rights and promotes popular sovereignty.
