Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is C. abstained.
To abstain means to choose not to do something, especially to vote. In the context of the question, some people chose not to vote in the last elections.
The other options are incorrect because they have different meanings.
- To deny means to refuse to admit or accept something.
- To refuse means to say that you will not do something.
- To decline means to refuse to accept something that is offered to you.
