Correct answer: A. Equal opportunity

The direct answer is A: equal opportunity. In a democratic election, candidates should have a fair chance to reach voters and explain their programmes. Step by step: one candidate or party uses excessive money; money may buy more advertisements, transport, workers, publicity, or influence; poorer candidates cannot compete on similar terms; therefore the opportunity to compete is no longer equal. Option A is correct because unfair money power damages equal opportunity and fair competition. Option B, secret ballot, means no one should know how a person voted; money power does not directly change ballot secrecy. Option C, the voter list, records eligible voters and is a different matter. Option D, the voting date, concerns when voting happens, not whether candidates compete equally. Memory cue: money power creates unequal chances.

Correct answer: B. Bias

Equal rules prevent bias and create fair competition. In exams connect equal rules with fairness.

Correct answer: A. Because will of all eligible voters will not be included

A democratic election must include all citizens who are legally eligible to vote. If one group is stopped from voting at the polling station, its members cannot express their preferences. The final result then represents only the people who were allowed to participate, not the full electorate. For this reason, the will of all eligible voters is not included, and option A is correct.

Preventing a group from voting is not made fair by having fewer candidates, more campaigning, or a longer ballot. Those details do not repair the loss of citizens’ participation. Inclusive voting means that eligible people can reach the booth, cast their vote freely, and have it counted according to the rules. Excluding a group can change the result and therefore makes the election doubtful and unfair.

Correct answer: A. To keep election process fair and rule based

A neutral institution creates trust in electoral process. In exams treat Election Commission as protector of fairness.

Correct answer: A. Ability to form free opinion

Free discussion helps voters form opinions. In exams connect discussion with informed election.

Correct answer: C. By voters' free votes

In a fair election, the people must be able to choose their representatives freely. Victory should not depend on the order of a ruling person, the preference of the army, or the amount of money spent by a candidate. The important idea is that every eligible voter has the right to express a genuine choice without force, fear, bribery, or unfair pressure.

The result is decided by counting the free votes cast by voters. The candidate or party receiving the required greater support wins, while the others lose. Therefore, option C is correct. Options A, B, and D describe forms of control or influence that would make the competition unfair and would weaken democracy.
