A- US elects officeholders by less than a majority. However this practice is not followed by a majority of other countries as it is not a widely accepted method of election.

Proportional representation refers to election of a representatives not by way of majority votes cast by person in favor of the contenders but the division of people that are choosing the representatives.

Not selecting the representative by the majority of votes cast by such contender is a practice often followed in the states. In this divisional majority is the given priority for election.A contender is divided by the no. of voters into various divisions of voters and the person getting most votes of a specific division is declared as the winner of the election.This method eliminates favoritism and promotes real good representation of the state. However, this practice is limited to official positions only and not the supreme positions like that of the President.

Hence, the correct option is A that the process mentioned above is known as proportional representation.

a. Proportional representation

Explanation:

In proportional representation, votes are based on the divisions of an electoral body. This electoral body decides the results of the votes based on those divisions that are based on the elected body. This means that the results of the elections are not always based on plurality or an absolute majority of votes, but on the proportional representation of members of the electoral body. This means that within that system, less than a majority may hold office.
