Answer:

The correct answer is: To gain a political advantage

Explanation:

Gerrymandering is a tool that is used by political parties to maintain power. The borders of congressional districts are updated every 10 years, while that happens, some districts are redrawn to cut out groups that may change the voting outcome, for example, racial and religious minorities.

The US Supreme Court has ruled that two gerrymandered districts in North Carolina needed to be redrawn because they segregated voters by race.

The first answer is correct (A).

Gerrymander is a model of territorial definition of electoral districts. This method is controversial because the districts are mapped in a diffuse spatial form that gives the impression of something disordered.

However, the system is very well calculated. The politicians try to draw the boundaries of the districts to favor the election of the candidates of their respective parties.
