In which situation will electoral competition be nominal rather than real?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When several parties exist but the opposition is silenced through fear

Correct answer: B. Electoral competition is real only when parties and candidates can organise, communicate with citizens and criticise one another without intimidation. A country may formally have several parties, but if the opposition is threatened, censored or prevented from speaking, voters do not receive a genuine alternative. The competition then exists in name only. B is correct because fear removes the practical freedom needed for opposition to contest effectively. A is wrong because free campaigning supports real competition. C is wrong because transparent counting strengthens trust in the result, although it does not by itself define the campaign environment. D is wrong because an accurate voter list is important for proper administration but does not silence or free the opposition. Memory cue: many parties are not enough; they must be able to compete freely.
