How should campaign rules be in a fair election?

Correct answer: Same for everyone

The direct answer is C: campaign rules should be the same for everyone. A fair election requires a level playing field, so candidates and parties should compete under equal and known rules. The reasoning is: the election authority sets rules; those rules apply equally to the ruling party, opposition parties and independent candidates; no contestant should receive an unfair advantage; voters then compare choices more freely. Option A is wrong because making rules easy only for the ruling party gives it an unfair advantage. Option B is wrong because making rules difficult only for the opposition prevents equal competition. Option C is correct because equal rules protect fairness and help voters make a genuine choice. Option D is wrong because campaigns need lawful rules; removing rules altogether can permit intimidation, misuse of money or misinformation. Exam cue: fairness means equal opportunity and equal rules, not special treatment.
