Explanation:

Republic and democracy are both forms of government in which citizens have some participation in political decisions. In the case of Republic, citizens choose officials or representatives who make political decisions and should represent the citizens' interests, this can occur through aristocracy, autocracy or democracy. On the other hand, in democracy, the power is held by the citizens who can vote directly on political issues (direct democracy) or elect representatives (indirect democracy) as it occurs in a republic. According to this, in a democracy, the influence of citizens occurs directly or indirectly, but in a republic, citizens can only influence government indirectly (Option A).
