Based on the rules of the electoral college, who will win the election and why

The correct answer is A. Marcus will win because she has the required number of electoral votes

Explanation:

In the U.S., the President is elected through the electoral college, which includes representatives of all states. In this context, the candidate needs to have at least 270 votes from the electoral college to be elected. Also, the candidate with more votes from the electoral college wins even if he/she has less popular votes or citizens votes than other candidates. This means in the case presented the winner is going to be Rosa Marcus because she obtained the necessary electoral votes to win (270 votes); while the candidate Torres obtained only 265, which are not enough votes to be elected even if he has more popular votes.
