Which statement about staking and delegating is accurate?

• A. All participants must stake at least the fixed minimum amount regardless of delegation.
• B. Delegators can stake smaller amounts by delegating to a validator.
• C. There is no possibility to delegate; only validators can stake.
• D. Delegation automatically increases a validator's stake to the maximum.

Answer: (B)

Pooling your stake through delegation lets regular holders participate in staking without becoming a validator themselves. Delegators can contribute smaller amounts by attaching their AVAX to a validator who already meets the requirements to participate in the network’s staking system. Your stake is kept under your control, and you earn rewards based on the amount you delegate (after the validator’s commission is taken into account). This is why delegating to a validator to stake smaller amounts is the accurate statement. Delegation isn’t about everyone hitting a fixed minimum or about reaching a maximum stake; it simply increases the validator’s total stake by the delegated amount, and rewards are distributed accordingly.
