AFocus on the occupant
BFocus on public opinion
CFocus on the office ✓ Correct
DNone of these
Correct answer: (C) Focus on the office — Institutional analysis focuses on the office rather than the occupant, so the answer is focus on the office.
Explanation
★Institutional analysis focuses on the office rather than the occupant, so the answer is focus on the office.
★Institutionalism studies the rules, powers and structure of an institution.
★The presidency is examined as an office with fixed powers and constraints.
★These shape how any President can act, whoever holds the post.
★This differs from focusing on the personality of the individual occupant.
★So the institutional approach centres on the office itself.
