Looking at the table, we can see that the $0.5 spending amount falls under the category of "less than $1.0". From the table, we can see that a total of 92 voters prefer a spending amount less than $1.0. Therefore, if all voters vote for the spending amount closest to their own preference, the $0.5 spending amount will receive 92 votes. Thus, the answer is (C) 92.
