Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Districts are divided to make sure that they favor a candidate from one political party

Explanation:

Gerrymandering is an unethical practice used in politics to favor certain candidates or make the participation of minorities irrelevant. This practice involves dividing districts on purpose to favor a result rather than dividing them according to geographical boundaries.
