Answer : 3. "Census"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Census Explanation: Redistricting is the process of drawing electoral district boundaries in the United States. The state legislature has primary responsibility for creating a redistricting plan, in many cases subject to approval by the state governor. Redistricting has to follow certain criteria to be accepted: * compactness* contiguity* equal population* preservation of existing political communities* partisan fairness* racial fairness   The practice of gerrymandering involves the manipulation of district drawing in aims to leave out, or include, specific populations in a legislator's district to ensure his/her reelection.   Gerrymandering is the practice of drawing district lines to achieve political gain for legislators.
