Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → First-past-the-post system
In the first-past-the-post (FPTP) system, also known as the simple majority system, the entire country is divided into small geographical areas called constituencies. For each constituency, a voter can cast a vote for only one candidate. The candidate who gets the most votes—even if it's not a majority—is declared the winner.
