The diagram shows factors that contribute to the prosperity and democracy of a country. We need to find the option that best completes this causal chain.

Option A: More educated citizens are more likely to create a democratic government. - This option introduces a new factor (education level) that is not present in the diagram. However, it does connect to the concept of democracy. Option B: More prosperous citizens have money to spend. - This option is related to the prosperity aspect of the diagram but does not directly contribute to democracy. Option C: The citizens and government have a positive attitude toward the United States. - This option is not relevant to the factors presented in the diagram, as it introduces an external factor (attitude toward the United States). Option D: The country’s government discovers a new natural resource. - This option relates to the prosperity of a country, as discovering a new natural resource can lead to economic growth.

Of the given options, Option D: The country’s government discovers a new natural resource is the most relevant to the diagram, as it directly connects to the prosperity factor. Although it does not directly contribute to democracy, prosperity can indirectly influence democracy by improving the overall well-being of the citizens.
