How are members of parliament chosen?

Appointed by the Prime Minister
Elected by voters in their local constituency (riding) during federal elections
Selected by provincial leaders
Chosen by a lottery system

The correct answer is: Elected by voters in their local constituency (riding) during federal elections

Members of parliament (MPs) are elected by voters in their local constituency during federal elections. This is done through a voting process where citizens choose the candidate they want to represent them in parliament. This candidate can be from any political party. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the process of electing MPs in a federal election. MPs are not appointed by the Prime Minister, but rather are chosen by voters. They are also not selected by provincial leaders or chosen by a lottery system. These options may be used in other political processes, but they do not pertain to the selection of members of parliament.
