- C Parliamentary Group ✓ Correct answer
- D Opposition
Explanation
In the Bundestag and state parliaments, members elected from the same party (or allied parties) form a coordinated parliamentary group that organizes strategy, speaking time, and committee work. This is different from an external association, the council of senior members that manages parliamentary procedures, or the general camp opposing the government.
Tips
- Focus on keywords like “Abgeordneten einer Partei im Parlament”: this points to the coordinated parliamentary group inside the legislature.
- Eliminate terms describing:
- Administrative bodies that set agendas and procedures.
- Broad political camps (government vs. opposition) that can include multiple parties.
- External associations or interest groups outside parliament.
- Recall that this group manages speaking time, committee seats, and legislative strategy for its party.
