Explanation:

In a closed primary system, only registered members of a political party can vote in that party's primary. So, a registered Republican cannot vote in the Democratic Primary (eliminating option A). Registered independents are not members of a party, so they cannot vote in a party's primary (supporting option B). To vote in a Democratic Primary in NYS (a closed primary state), one must be a registered Democrat (supporting option C). Similarly, to vote in a Republican Primary in NYS, one must be a registered Republican (supporting option D).

B. A registered independent cannot vote in a Democratic Primary
C. You must be a registered Democrat to vote in a Democratic Primary in NYS
D. You must be a registered Republican to vote in a Republican Primary in NYS
