The correct answer is option 1 - First-Past-the-Post System. This electoral system is used in India, where the candidate who receives the highest number of votes in a constituency is elected as the representative for that constituency. In this system, the candidate does not necessarily need to secure an absolute majority of the votes.
Option 2 - Proportional Representation, is not the electoral system used in India. In a Proportional Representation system, seats are allocated to political parties based on the proportion of votes they receive nationwide or in a specific region.
Option 3 - Mixed System, is also not the electoral system used in India. A Mixed System combines elements of proportionality and constituency representation, where some representatives are elected through First-Past-the-Post system and others through Proportional Representation.
Option 4 - General Ticket, is not the correct answer either. General Ticket, also known as Block Voting, is a system where voters cast their votes for a group of candidates instead of individual candidates.
Therefore, the answer provided in the question is correct, and the electoral system of India is best described as the First-Past-the-Post System.
