Corporate capitalism & democracy - critical message
Question

Corporate capitalism is important for economic growth of a State and also for democracy.
Corporate capitalism is imperative for a modern State to achieve its political objectives.
No State can ensure its economic survival for long without the role of corporate capitalism.

Explanation
The passage establishes that "no democracy that has grown economically" has done so without corporate capitalism.

The core argument is the fundamental importance of corporate capitalism as the engine for economic growth within a democratic framework. Options (b) and (d) introduce unsupported claims about "political objectives" and "mutual dependence" (the passage says economic growth needs capitalism, not that democracy itself will cease to exist without it).
Answer: (a).
