Respuesta

The correct answer is 'A'. A runoff election is typically held when no candidate achieves a majority in the primary election.

Explicación

## Step 1This problem is about understanding the process of primary elections in the United States. A primary election is a preliminary election to appoint delegates, candidates, or to narrow down the field of candidates for a particular party's upcoming general election.## Step 2The question asks what happens if no candidate receives a majority of the votes in the primary election. The majority of votes means more than half of the total votes cast.## Step 3Option A suggests that a runoff election will be held. This is a common practice in some jurisdictions when no candidate achieves a majority in the primary election. The runoff election is held between the top two candidates who received the most votes in the primary.## Step 4Option B suggests that the state executive committee will determine the party's nominee. This is not a common practice in most jurisdictions.## Step 5Option C suggests that the two candidates who received the most votes in the primary will represent the party in the general election. This is not always the case, especially when no candidate achieves a majority.## Step 6Option D suggests that a "redo" election is held with all candidates who wish to run allowed to run again. This is not a common practice in most jurisdictions.
