The correct answer is: **D. There is less separation of executive and legislative power in a parliamentary democracy.**
In parliamentary democracies, the executive branch derives its legitimacy from the legislature (parliament) and is often part of it, leading to a closer relationship between the two. In contrast, presidential democracies feature a clearer separation of powers, with an independently elected president who serves as the head of state and government, separate from the legislative branch.
