How can money power affect fairness of democratic elections?

Correct answer: It can unfairly influence weaker candidates and voters

Direct answer: B is correct. Money power means the use of large financial resources to influence electoral competition or voters. A wealthy candidate or party may be able to spend much more on publicity, transport, organisational activity, or inducements than its competitors. Money may also be used to offer benefits to voters, which can pressure or improperly influence their choice. This creates an unequal contest and may prevent policies and public interest from receiving fair attention. Option B is correct because it identifies unfair influence on both weaker candidates and voters. Option A is wrong: spending money does not automatically provide equal information to everyone; it can create an imbalance in visibility. Option C is wrong because transparency in counting depends on open, verifiable procedures, not on campaign wealth. Option D is wrong because voter-list accuracy is an administrative matter, not an automatic result of money power. Memory cue: money power can tilt the electoral playing field; it is not the same as informing citizens fairly.
