Which of the following is false?
A. closed primaries allow independents to participate in the party's primary of their choosing
B. open primaries allow independents to participate in the party's primary of their choosing.
C. the goal of the primary is to reduce the number of candidates running in the general election.
D. some states use the caucus method to determine which candidate the state parties will support in the primary.
Option A - Closed primaries allow independents to participate in the party's primary of their choosing.
Open primaries allow voters of any party to vote in any primary of any of the parties. But, in a closed primary only voters registered with a given party can vote in that party's primary.Independents are candidates who are not affiliated with any political party.
So, since independents are not affiliated with any political party, and closed primary would not allow voters who are not registered with their party to vote, the statement "closed primaries allow independents to participate in party's primary of their choosing" is false.
