Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
An open primary allows voters to wait until the day of the primary to choose which political party to enroll in and select candidates for the general election. In a closed primary, voters must be registered with a specific political party in advance to participate in that party's primary. The majority system refers to a voting system in which a candidate must receive more than 50% of the votes to win, and a referendum is a direct vote by the people on a specific issue or policy.
