The correct answer is D. 70% or below

Explanation:

The term national elections refer to mainly the elections of the president and vice president of the U.S. that take place every four years and in which citizens from all states of the United States are asked to vote, this date usually coincides with other federal or local elections. Even though this election system has been used for many years it has been widely criticized, one of the reason for this is the low percentage of citizens that vote in national elections as this can imply this system is not really democratic as the opinion of the majority of U.S. citizens is not reflected on the elections, in this way during the elections of 2004 the percentage of eligible population that voted was 60.1%,and in in 2008 this percentage was 61.4%, which was the highest percentage since 1968 which suggest in most election the percentage has been near to 70% or under 70%. Thus, the percentage of eligible Americans that vote on national elections is around 70% or below.

according to worldatlas.com, the u.s. has an 86% literacy rate.

an empire is a sovereign state functioning as an aggregate of nations or people that are ruled over by an emperor or another kind of monarch. the territory and population of an empire is commonly of greater extent than the one of a kingdom.[1]

an empire can be made solely of contiguous territories, such as the austro-hungarian empire or the russian empire, or of territories far remote from the homeland, such as a colonial empire. aside from the more formal usage, the word empire can also refer colloquially to a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), a political organisation controlled by a single individual (a political boss), or a group (political bosses).[2] the word empire is associated with such other words as imperialism, colonialism, and globalization. empire is often used to describe a displeasure to overpowering situations.[3]
