Presidential candidates are officially nominated by:

National referendum
Voters in primary elections
Delegates at the national party convention
State party caucus attendees
The Electoral College

Explanation

Answer: C - Presidential candidates are officially nominated at national party conventions by a vote of the delegates. The purpose of the primaries and the caucuses is to choose delegates to the national convention. So, when you vote in a presidential primary, you are not voting for a candidate, but rather for someone who promises to support that candidate.
