In which situation can a recount request be rejected?

Correct answer: When no sufficient and specific grounds for recounting are provided

The correct answer is A. A recount is an exceptional checking step, not an automatic right to repeat counting merely because someone is dissatisfied. The candidate or authorised agent should give a clear and reasonable basis, such as a specific counting error or a disputed decision that could affect the result. If no sufficient and specific grounds are presented, the competent election authority may reject the request under the applicable procedure. The candidate’s presence alone is not a reason for recounting, so B is wrong. The presence of authorised agents is part of observation and does not itself prove an error, so C is wrong. A written objection may be considered, but it must contain proper grounds; the mere fact that it is written does not guarantee a recount, so D is not the best answer. Memory cue: a recount needs a reason, not merely a request.
