Correct Option: C
Option C is the correct answer.
An absolute majority electoral system requires a candidate to receive more than 50% of the votes in order to win. This means that a candidate must receive a clear and decisive mandate from the voters, rather than just a simple plurality, which is the most votes, but not necessarily a majority. This type of system helps ensure that the winner has broad support and legitimacy.
