Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Rule of law is a fundamental pillar of substantive democracy, is not merely public order but social justice based on public order, and in its substantive sense balances the needs of society and the individual; the claim that liberal democracy rests solely on formal democracy is wrong. Hence "A, B, and C only".
