Explanation:

To determine the correct principle, we analyze each option:

• Option A ("Worth of the individual") emphasizes the value of each person but doesn't directly relate to actions like voting or jury service.
• Option B ("Rule of law") focuses on laws governing all, but the actions here are about citizen engagement, not just obeying laws.
• Option C ("Compromise") is about resolving differences, which isn't related to the listed actions.
• Option D ("Citizen participation") includes actions like voting, jury service, staying informed, and volunteering—all ways citizens engage in the democratic process.
