The correct answer is: A. first-past-the-post system.
Explanation: The simple plurality voting system is commonly referred to as the first-past-the-post system. In this system, the candidate with the most votes in a single-member district wins, regardless of whether they achieve an absolute majority (over 50% of the votes). This is different from proportional representation, which aims to allocate seats based on overall vote share.
