Figure 13.2 : The above figure represents the 9 voters in a small community who are voting to elect someone as mayor. The voters are listed in order, from left to right, by their political views, from the most liberal (L4) to the most conservative (C4). The two candidates running for mayor are Oliver Cousins, a liberal, and George Glass, a conservative. Assume that all 9 voters will vote in the election, and each voter will cast his or her vote for the candidate who is most closely aligned with their political views.
-Refer to Figure 13.2. If the figure is viewed as a two-player game between Oliver and George, there would be
A) no Nash equilibria.
B) one Nash equilibrium where both players end up at the M position.
C) two Nash equilibria, one where Oliver ends up at position L4 and George ends up at position C4, and one where both players end up at position M.
D) five Nash equilibria, each represented by the two players ending up an equal distance from M.
