Answer

Brief Explanations:

De Tocqueville analyzed American democracy. He warned that a focus on personal gain over the common good (individualism prioritizing self - interest over community welfare) could threaten civic life and democracy. Option A: Voluntarism is a positive aspect of civic engagement, not a threat. Option C: He didn't focus on international security threats to democracy in this context. Option D: A stronger national government wasn't his main concern about threatening democracy; rather, it was self - centered individualism.

Answer:

B. a desire for personal gain over the common good
