Solution

The correct option is C Referendum
A referendum is a form of direct democracy in which the citizens of a country vote directly on a particular subject or decision of the government. Musharraf conducted a referendum in 2002, which shifted his designation from Chief Executive to the President of Pakistan. However, the referendum was widely criticised as being fraudulent and unfair.
