D.

Correct answer is D

An indirect election is an election in which voters do not choose between candidates for an office, but elect people who then choose. It is one of the oldest forms of elections, and is still used today for many presidents, cabinets, upper houses, and supranational legislatures.

An electoral college is a body of electors chosen or appointed by a larger group.
