Option 2 : B and C

A particular area from which all the voters living there choose their representatives is called - Ward and Constituency.

  • In our country we follow an area based system of representation.
  • The country is divided into different areas for purposes of elections. These areas are called electoral constituencies.
  • The voters who live in an area elect one representative.
  • For Lok Sabha elections, the country is divided into 543 constituencies.
  • The representative elected from each constituency is called a Member of Parliament or an MP.
  • Similarly, each state is divided into a specific number of Assembly constituencies.
  • In this case, the elected representative is called the Member of Legislative Assembly or an MLA.
  • The same principle applies for Panchayat and Municipal elections.
  • Each village or town is divided into several ‘wards’ that are like constituencies.
  • Each ward elects one member of the village or the urban local body.

Hence, we can conclude that the correct answer is - B and C.
