A nominated party leader

The correct answer is: A Canadian citizens, 18 years or older, running for office in a federal election

An electoral candidate is defined as any Canadian citizen who is 18 years or older and is running for office in a federal election. This is the most accurate definition because it specifies the key requirements for an electoral candidate in Canada. Option A is incorrect because a candidate does not necessarily have to be a member of Parliament to run for office. Option C is incorrect because a candidate is not a representative of the Sovereign, but rather a representative of the people in their riding. Option D is also incorrect because a candidate does not have to be a nominated party leader to run for office, they can also be independent or nominated by a smaller party.
