Solution

The correct options are
A Influence of money
C Booth capturing
D Hate-filled campaigning
Most politicians seek to win elections and stay in power. Sometimes, they resort to shortcuts which are harmful to the democratic ethos of conducting elections. For instance, the influence of money and huge expenditure, political violence and booth capturing, and unhealthy means of using caste and religion to fuel hate-filled campaigning threaten the sanctity of elections.
