I see it like this.
Government -> several disadvantages.
People need to live under it.
Do any of the people/ all people / do some people / do most people living there dread this particular disadvantage?
The statement reflects a disadvantage but not the vision of the people who endure it.
Correct me, If I'm wrong.

I do not know, but when we have "people" it is referring to the entirety and your explanation people = majority which is invalid.

I don't see how you can choose B. There is nothing in this problem that even remotely suggests how these people feel about living like this. I feel like you're assuming that being forced means that they are opposed. Is it not possible that I could be forced, for example, to do the laundry, but I want to do the laundry anyway? It's the same thing in this problem. It is possible that while they're forced to live without liberty and dissent, they are opposed to the idea of having personal liberty and dissent?
