Which of these is not a democratic country?
China
China is correct.
A democratic country is one in which the government is chosen through free and competitive multi-party elections and holds office at the pleasure of the electorate. Of the four options, India, Sri Lanka and the United States of America all conduct periodic multi-party elections and are recognised as democracies.
China, officially the People's Republic of China, is a one-party state under the Communist Party of China. It does not permit competitive multi-party elections at the national level, so it is classified as a non-democratic country in standard civics references. Hence among the given options, China is the one that is not a democratic country.
