Figure 13.1 : A recreation center is to be built, which will serve the populations of 4 isolated towns in Atlas County. The residents of these 4 towns all agree that a recreation center is a much-needed asset, and every resident wants to live as close to the recreation center as possible. The only conflict is selecting the town in which the recreation center is to be built. Due to utility restrictions, the center needs to be built in one of these towns and not somewhere between any of the towns. A map showing the location of these towns, the voting populations of the towns, and the driving distance between the towns is shown in the above figure. Assume that everyone in the voting population casts a vote, and that the votes cast reflect everyone's desire to live as close as possible to the recreation center.
-Refer to Figure 13.1. If the voting method used to select a location for the recreation center is the plurality-rule method, the recreation center will be built in
A) Desert Sands.
B) Glacier Cove.
C) Mountain View.
D) Oceanside.
