Darwin · Answer 1

The answer is B.

A is incorrect because, while a large goal of a political party is to persuade voters, the platform itself is not to show that they care about the voters.

C is incorrect because, again, while this may be a goal of a political party, the platform itself is not used to enforce an ideology.

D is incorrect, because a political party's platform does not always align with the voters' ideals.
