With option B removed, voters' preferences for options A and C would be compared directly without considering B. In a Borda count, each position on a voter's preference list is assigned a point value, with the highest preference receiving the most points. Without knowing the specific preferences and point assignments, it's impossible to determine the exact outcome, but the question implies that removing option B results in a tie between options A and C.
