What does "ouster" refer to?

Retention in a position
Dismissal or expulsion from a position
Employment in a prestigious role
Job promotion

The correct answer is: Dismissal or expulsion from a position

The term "ouster" specifically refers to the act of dismissing or expelling someone from a position, making "B" the correct choice. The word is commonly used in legal and political contexts to describe situations where an individual is removed from their role or office, often due to misconduct or loss of confidence. On the other hand, retention in a position, employment in a prestigious role, and job promotion do not align with the definition of "ouster." These options imply continued service, advancement, or maintaining a current status, which directly contrasts with the concept of being removed or expelled from a position.
