The correct answer is: (b) In the US, an incumbent or sitting elected representative rarely loses an election.
Explanation: While incumbency does provide an advantage in the United States, it is not true that sitting representatives rarely lose elections. In Presidential elections, many sitting presidents have lost their re-election bids (e.g., Donald Trump in 2020, Jimmy Carter in 1980, George H.W. Bush in 1992). Similarly, members of Congress and Senate also face defeats, especially in midterm elections, where the ruling party often loses seats.
