Read the following passage and answer the item that follows. Your answers to this item should be based on the passage only.

Political legitimacy here means a mass demand from below for the decentralization process, which is able to create a political force for it to take place. In many cases, decentralization is initiated by the upper tier of government without sufficient political mobilization for it at the grassroots level, and in such cases the decentralization process often does not fulfill its objectives. Which among the following is the most logical, rational and critical inference that can be made from the above passage?
