Answer:

a) the advantages a candidate who is running for re-election has over the candidate trying to unseat him or her

Explanation:

Incumbency effect can be defined as the advantages a candidate who is running for re-election has over the candidate trying to unseat him or her in a democratic election process.

Basically, it refers to the tendency (phenomenon) for public officials such as senators or house of representative members who are already holding power (office) to get re-elected over an opposition. This ultimately implies that, a candidate contesting with an incumbent candidate is automatically placed at a disadvantage to emerge as the winner election due to the power of incumbency (incumbency effect).

<em>Additionally, the incumbency effect is peculiar to democratic elections and most favorable or stronger for the house of representative members.</em>

What did the lord provide to the vassals?<br> food<br> housing<br> protection<br> education
Feliz [49]
The correct answer is "protection".

In feudal society, a vassal was a person invested with a fief for which they had to povide services to a lord. First, a feudal contract was made, and under that contract, the lord was bound to provide the vassal with the fief, i.e. to provide protection and to do him justice in court. In return the Lord could demand the services which were attached to the fief, and these could include all kinds of services - military, administrative etc.
