- A census suffrage.
- B three-class suffrage.
- C majority and proportional representation system. ✓ Correct answer
- D universal male suffrage.
Explanation
Germany combines majority voting in local districts, the first vote, with proportional representation through party lists, the second vote, giving it a mixed electoral system.

- Census or class-based voting and male-only suffrage are historical, not part of today's system.
