A person's political party preferences are primarily acquired through the influence of

A) the person's family.
B) the region of the country the person inhabits.
C) the person's education.
D) the media.

Multiple studies have shown that family plays a significant role in shaping an individual's political party preferences. Parents often share their political beliefs and values with their children, and family discussions and debates can also contribute to political socialization. While factors such as region, education, and media can also play a role, family is typically the primary influencer.
