The concept limited the amount of dialogue between Stalin and the party.
D

Explanation

Khrushchev criticized the label “enemy of the people” because it was vague and could be used to brand almost anyone as an enemy. That gave Stalin a way to repress people he considered a threat, even without fair evidence or due process. The correct choice is “The concept allowed Stalin to repress anyone he felt was a threat.”
