Answer 1

Answer:

D - Voters select the candidates of their party who will run in the general election

Explanation:

A primary election is held so voters can stipulate their candidate preference for their party for an upcoming general or local election. Voters might comprise the general public or members of a political party. When it's the former it is referred to as an open primary but when it is the latter it is a closed primary.
