- bIt is an odd number.Det er et ulige tal.Correct answer
- cIt is the same in all municipalities.Det er det samme i alle kommuner.
Why?
A municipal council (kommunalbestyrelse) always has an odd number of members, so there can never be a tied vote. Most have between 19 and 31 members, and Copenhagen has the most.
