Which of the following is a correct characterization of the U$.$S$.$ party system?

The national party sets out a message vis$--$vis the party platform that all candidates must adopt.

Candidates may tailor messages to fit their constituents' needs while also benefiting from the resources the national party organization can provide.

The local party organizations generally control the state party organizations.

Each level of a party organization is independent, and there is little to no coordination between the national, state, and local party organizations.

The national party organization ultimately determines the nominees running under the party label in national, state, and local elections.
