The correct answer is:
A. There is less separation of executive and legislative power in a parliamentary democracy.
In a parliamentary democracy, the executive branch derives its legitimacy from and is directly accountable to the legislature (parliament), which often leads to a fusion of powers between these branches. In contrast, in a presidential democracy, there is a clearer separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches.
