B. Countries with greater wealth, such as those in North America, are associated with greater democratization.

Explanation:

Most often rich countries, such as North America, have strong public policies, a culture based on trust and low inequality. These elements, together with freedom and access to quality education and freedom to borrow, made rich countries strongly associated with democratization.

Democratization is the process of establishing a democratic system in one place. A democratic system is a term used to designate both an ideal and real political regimes that fall considerably short of that ideal. In this system individual freedom and equality of conditions are considered the main democratic values and principles that underpin this form of government. In modern political thought, democracy is seen in opposition to absolutist and dictatorial forms of government.
