Solution

The correct option is C The ruling party has lost the elections
The ultimate test of free and fair election is the acceptance of the election results by the voters. If elections are not free or fair, the voters will not accept the results. It is logical to assume that if the elections are not free and fair, and rigging or mal practices have taken place, the ruling party should always win, as it is more powerful than the opposition.
