Explanation:

Gerrymandering occurs when electoral district lines are drawn to give an unfair advantage to one party. In the first option, drawing school - board district lines to include suburban areas that predominantly vote for one party to help a candidate win is an example of illegal and unfair redistricting. The other options deal with apportionment, new district creation requirements, and Senate and Electoral College matters, which are not about illegal redistricting.

Answer:

The new boundary for school board races was drawn to include suburban districts that predominantly vote for one party so that Candidate A is significantly more likely to win the election than Candidate B.
