I and IIe. II and III

Answer 1

a. I only

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the state that would be the least impacted by gerrymandering. Gerrymandering refers to a practice of establishing an advantage for a political party by manipulating district boundaries. There are two main ways of doing so, which are "cracking" (minimizing the voting power of a group by splitting it over several districts) and "packing" (concentrating the whole group in one single district to minimize their power in other ones). A state that is diverse in all of its districts is unlikely to be affected by gerrymandering.
