b, but it's not accurate to say that Aristotle rejected "democracy", democracy meant the authority of the fool majority, but there was another form of majority authority that he considered fine, i can't remember its name. any way he considered majority authority as the worst good system, and the best bad system.
may be (a) is more accurate, the mob rule is included in the Greek word: democracy. but he thought that the authority of a good individual or intellectuals is better.
i would give your teacher an F.
