Answer 2

The correct answer is B) primary with proportional representation rules.

The kind of primary that the following scenario describes is "primary with proportional representation rules."

When we are talking about elections in the United States politics, a primary election means that candidates to run for public office are going to be selected. In this election, basically, members of the party participate. If it is a direct primary, people elect directly. If it is indirect, people vote for delegates. Proportional representation means that if the candidate wins by any percentage, the party will then receive a similar percentage of the seats in congress.
