What is the term for the process of redrawing electoral district boundaries in the United States?

Gerrymandering.
Lobbying.
Filibustering.
Redistricting.

The correct answer is: Redistricting.

Redrawing electoral district boundaries in the United States is known as redistricting. This process is required after every census and is done to ensure that each district has a similar number of constituents. Gerrymandering, which is the manipulation of district boundaries for political gain, is incorrect because it is a biased and unethical practice. Lobbying, the act of influencing government decisions, does not directly involve redrawing electoral district boundaries. Filibustering, the practice of prolonged speech in order to delay a vote, is also not related to redistricting. Therefore, the best choice is D Redistricting.
