Answer 1

The correct answer is Multi-Party.

Key Points

Many European nations, including India, have multiple political parties.
A multiparty system in politics denotes the presence of multiple parties.
In a multiparty democracy, a coalition government is formed by a number of parties who agree on a minimum plan for governance.
There are two sorts of multiparty systems: functional and unstable.
The worst example of an unstable party system is what happened in India between 1996 and 1998.
Even though there are more than two main political parties, the functioning multi-party system functions more like a two-party system and so tends to give stability to the administration.
