Solution

The correct option is B Other castes may not get a representation.
In constituencies where 80% population belongs to a single caste, X, political parties may have multiple candidates from this caste and may not have any candidates from other minority castes. This would mean that a group of voters would have more than one candidate to choose from, whereas the rest would have no representation. But it is not necessary that people of a particular caste will vote for candidates from the same caste. No party has ever won the votes of all the voters in that caste or community.
