The correct answer is C. In a republic, elected officials represent territories and citizens in government.

Explanation:

Republics are characterized by their representativeness, that is, they are governed by officials elected by the people, who represent this and its legitimacy.

An example of this situation is in the United States, where the president exercises the mandate conferred by citizens, representing them. In turn, in the Senate, senators represent the state from which they come, and in the House, representatives do the same with the citizens of the congressional districts to which they belong.

In this way, government officials exercise a double representation in front of their fellow citizens and the territory of which they are part.
