Solution

The correct option is A A two-party system has developed
The proportional representation system becomes necessary when in a nation there is a multi-party system so as to represent the interest of minority or the party who has not attained winning votes. Where there is a two-party system people have a crystal clear choice to choose one between two. The defeating party will then acquire the position of opposition.
