Which of the following best describes the practice of "ticket-splitting"?

a-a presidential nominee selects a running mate who can appeal to voter groups whose support of the nominee is weak.

b-a voter chooses the presidential nominee of one major party, but chooses congressional nominees of the other major party.

c_a member of congress votes against legislation proposed by his or her party leader.

d-a delegate to a national party convention supports the front-runner but remains uncommitted on the party platform.

The correct answer is B. An example of the practice of "ticket-splitting" is when a voter chooses the presidential nominee of one major party, but chooses congressional nominees of the other major party.

Explanation:

The "ticket-splitting" is the vote to different political parties by the voters according to the type of elections to which they are summoned. This can be referred to votes made on the same day or issued on different days. An example would be the elections to the governor of Montana and for the presidency of the United States of 2004. While George W. Bush of the Republican party won the Democratic candidate John Kerry by 59% to 39%, the Democratic candidate to governor Brian Schweitzer defeated his Republican opponent by 50% to 46%.
