    The correct answer is D. Districts in a state are drawn to favor a specific political party.

    Explanation:

    Gerrymandering refers to a practice in which an unfair political advantage is established to benefit a specific party. This unfair political advantage is made through the manipulation of some district boundaries. They are usually utilized in electoral systems based on the first-past-the-post system.

    Two main tactics are used in Gerrymandering, "cracking" and "packing". There is another tactic called homogenization concerning all districts.
