D. will increase her chances of winning elections

Explanation:

Public choice theory describes the use of economic tools to influence political behaviour. It explains the various political activities that involve incentives by way of private and public organizations that shape and constrain policy choices with the aim of getting desired effects on political behaviour. Politicians may use this as a way of competing and influencing the political atmosphere in their favour.
