Respuesta :

Answer:

Candidate

Explanation:

The correct answer is C. Candidate

Explanation

The candidate is a term to refer to the person who aspires (by own decision or from third parties) to occupy a certain position. It is a concept that has its origin in ancient Rome and referred to the tribunes, who used to wear white robes during the political campaign; so the term candidate was associated with the person dressed in white, but over time was associated with everyone who aspires to a position. It is a term widely used in the workplace and political running, for those who want to occupy a certain position fulfilling certain requirements such as education, age, city of residence, among others. So, the correct answer is C. Candidate
