The most suitable option for a political cartoonist to use the term "lame duck" in a political cartoon would be:
C. depict an analogy between a candidate who is ineffective and a duck on crutches by the edge of a pond.
This option creates a visual analogy between a lame duck (a candidate who has not been re-elected and is in a period of reduced influence) and a duck on crutches, symbolizing ineffectiveness or limited capabilities. The imagery of a duck on crutches conveys the idea that the candidate, like a lame duck, may be hindered or less powerful during this transitional period.
