Howard Reese · Answer 1

A is the correct answer.

A party platform is the formal list of the party's core beliefs and positions for that election cycle. It is, in essence, what the party is going to run on for that election.

A lot of jockeying goes into creating the party platform. Everybody usually leaves happy about some things and unhappy about others.
