When citizens have a clear view of government functions and data, they are better able to do what?

AConceal information

BHold officials and agencies responsible for their actions

CReduce government efficiency

DLimit access to services

Answer:

B. Hold officials and agencies responsible for their actions

Read Explanation:

This ability is a direct consequence of transparency, which is a core benefit of e-governance. By making government information public and easily accessible, e-governance provides citizens with the necessary tools to monitor government activities. This public visibility makes it difficult for officials to act without being scrutinized. As a result, they become more accountable, as their actions and decisions are no longer hidden from the public eye. This fosters a culture of integrity and helps to build trust between the government and its citizens.
