option b. can countribute to democracy at global level.
Option a: If a country C pays more money and exercises more power, over other countries, it overrides the opinions & rights of people of those countries. So global democracy suffers.
Option c: Wealthy nations have always taken interest in affairs from their point of view and do not let all decision be taken democratically in the internatioal summits. They exercise veto powers and influence other countries in a biased way or threatening with sanctions/restrictions on trade or other ways.
