Correct option is A

The correct matching of the electoral systems terminologies with their meanings is as follows:
 A Universal suffrage: III. The right to vote which is not restricted by race, gender, belief, or social status. Universal suffrage is a fundamental principle of democratic societies, ensuring that all adult citizens have the right to vote without discrimination.
 B. Majoritarian electoral systems: IV. An electoral system in which the candidates or parties that receive the most votes win. Majoritarian systems are designed to produce a clear winner, often requiring a candidate to secure a majority of the votes.
 C. Single-member district plurality system: I. An electoral system in which individuals cast a single vote for a candidate in a single-member district. This system, also known as "first-past-the-post," awards the seat to the candidate with the most votes in each district, regardless of whether they achieve an absolute majority.
 D. Alternative vote: II. A form of majoritarian electoral systems that involves preferential voting. In the alternative vote system, voters rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate receives a majority of first-preference votes, the least popular candidate is eliminated, and votes are redistributed until one candidate achieves a majority.
Therefore, the correct option is (a) A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II. This matching accurately reflects the definitions and applications of each electoral system terminology.
