B. male suffrage
An electoral system that restricts voting rights to only male adults is called male suffrage. It means that only men are allowed to vote in an election. This type of electoral system has been used in the past in some countries where women were not considered as equal citizens and were not given the right to vote. Today most countries have adopted universal suffrage which grants the right to vote to all adult citizens, regardless of their gender, race, religion, etc.

The Correct answer is Male Suffrage. My school really shouldn't make these errors😬🤒🤒
