B. Two-party system
C. Multi-party system
D. Partisan party system

Answer 1

Hint:We will discuss political party.Political parties can be defined as an organised group of citizens who share the same political views and who try to control the government as a political unit. When there are a wide number of parties in a country,they help better to represent different cultures,ethnicities,religions etc.This kind of party system is present in democractic countries.

Complete answer:
Multi party system is when two or more than two parties come together to form the government . When only two parties are effective in a country and when they get power alternately ,it is called a two party system. Brazil, France, India, Poland and Belgium are examples of countries having multi party systems. In these countries, usually no single party has a parliamentary majority by itself. To form a compromised coalition for the purpose of developing power block and attaining legitimate mandate the political parties are forced. A system where two parties have the possibility of winning an election is called a two party system. One representative is elected from a given district to the same legislative body. In a multi party system several parties compete for power, and more than two parties have a reasonable chance of coming to power either on their own strength or in alliance with others.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Note: Role of political parties include declaration of policies, they mould public opinion, they act as a linkage between Government and people, these parties are responsible for formation of government, they run the country's political structure.
