Who forms the German Bundesrat?

- B the ministers of the federal government
- C the government representatives of the federal states ✓ Correct answer

Explanation
The Bundesrat is the federal body representing the governments of the German states (Länder). Its members are delegates from the state governments, not members of the Bundestag, federal ministers, or party members.
Tips
- Identify which body represents the Länder at the federal level. Use elimination: MPs belong to the Bundestag; federal ministers make up the Federal Government (executive); party members do not constitute constitutional organs. Watch for keywords like Länder, state governments, and representation in federalism.
