• A. Delegate body
• B. Deliberative assembly
• C. Cumulative voting
• D. Debate

Answer: (A)

The situation describes a body formed by representatives from local, state, or regional units who come together to decide on behalf of the whole organization. That specific gathering is a delegate body. It emphasizes representation from subunits acting for the entire organization, which is exactly how large associations convene to make decisions. A deliberative assembly is a broader term for any group that discusses and decides, but it doesn’t focus on the fact that members are delegates representing subunits. Cumulative voting is a voting method, not a type of assembly. Debate is the act of discussion, not the entity that makes decisions.
