    The correct option is - c. Only the Democratic Party has been charged with gerrymandering in Texas.

    Explanation:

    Gerrymandering is practice of influencing voting results by manipulating district boundaries.

    There are two main principles of gerrymandering:

    cracking, where voting power of opposing party voters are diluted and packing, where opposing party's voting power is concentrated to one district to reduce their voting power in other districts.
