The correct answer is B. Political parties are people who share beliefs and support their members in elections.

Explanation:

A political party is an organization aimed at gaining influence on government policy in a specific geographical area through participation in elections.

A political party is formed by people who agree on a number of political principles, although there are few parties where all members agree on all principles.

In dictatorships and one-party states, the leading political party has a different function than in a democracy. In those cases, there is only one party that has much influence, while a political opposition is usually missing or operating underground.
