    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.

    Republican party was also found guilty of gerrymandering, in particular during the 2010 United States elections.
