Solution

The correct option is A No party or candidate should be mobilising people of a single religion to obtain votes.
No party or candidate should outrightly mobilise people of a single religion to obtain votes. This will not result in a fair election. That is why temples, mosques, churches, and other religious places are not to be used for election campaigning.
