Answer:

The option that best describes gerrymandering is Option C.  Districts are drawn to make sure that they favor candidates from one political party.

Explanation:  

The term gerrymandering is named after Elbridge Gerry, who signed a bill creating a partisan district so he could win as the Governor of Massachusetts in 1812. It is alleged that lawmakers use their power sometimes to redraw district lines against what are called "majority-minority districts." In elections, such districts where the minority is in the majority can affect election outcomes as minority group voters like African Americans or Hispanic Americans vote against the more conventional, status quo candidates and incumbents.

Marta_Voda [28]

It was recorded that Russia had the largest army in the world and this was the major asset for Russia to enter world war I. Russia and Austria-Hungary were in dispute over the area called Balkans . Russia had a very close relationship with Serbia and in Austria there were many  Serbs who feared that they may be asked to convert into Austrian citizens. triple alliance was formed by Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy which considered to be the major threat to Russia.

Russian government introduced great army program which increased the size of Russian army. Around twenty  five million youth of Russia were in combating age and it increased the size of army. But the major problem was the deployment of soldiers in the war field. Due to the poor road and transporting conditions Russia experienced a great weakness in deploying soldiers during World war I
