Ballot initiatives are a way of direct democracy in which citizens can bring to the public to vote on the proposal on a new statue or a constitutional amendment.

As such option D is the only one that refers to the definition of an initiative ballot since option A is not an initiative, option B is a legislative referendum, and option C is a popular referendum.

The example that would qualify as a ballot initiative in Georgia is option D: Voter craft a constitutional amendment giving the courts the power to change sentencing guidelines for criminals.
