Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
An electoral system that restricts voting rights to only male adults is called male suffrage.
- Male suffrage: only men are allowed to vote.
- Adult suffrage: all adults, regardless of gender, can vote.
- Popular franchise: the general right of citizens to vote, usually universal.
- Limited franchise: voting rights are restricted based on criteria such as property, wealth, education or gender.
Here, the key point is that the restriction is specifically based on gender, so the correct term is male suffrage.
