Answer
- B minimum share of the vote needed to enter parliament
Explanation
The 5% threshold is the minimum share of second votes a party needs to receive seats in the Bundestag according to its share of the vote. Parties below it get no seats unless they win at least three constituencies. It has nothing to do with attendance or votes in parliament.
