Decentralization has the following as merits EXCEPT that it
- accommodates local differences
- Allows for leadership training
-
allows for conflict of power
- enhances political participation
- Is a check on tyranny
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
While decentralization has several advantages such as accommodating local differences, enhancing political participation, and being a check on tyranny, conflict of power is a disadvantage. Decentralization is meant to distribute power more evenly to prevent the concentration of power in a central authority, but it can sometimes lead to conflicts between local and central authorities over jurisdiction and authority.
