Higher the number of members, the more democratic an institution is.
Not all countries can be a part of the UNSC at the same time which makes it undemocratic.
All the countries are a part of UNGA at all times, which makes it democratic.

Option 4 : UNSC has five permanent members that never change while the others keep changing, this makes it undemocratic.

The statements mention that despite having more members, UNGA maintains its democratic character while UNSC fails to do it with just fifteen members. The number of members in a body has nothing to do with its democratic functioning, so option 1 cannot be right. Again, the internal functioning is being discussed of these bodies and not their numbers or inclusion of members who are not a part of the body, so option 2 and 3 cannot be right. Option 5 cannot be right as we do not know if third world countries get to be a part of UNSC or not. Option 4 reveals the disparity and inequality between the permanent and non-permanent members of UNSC and inequality makes it undemocratic. Hence, option 4 is the correct solution.
