The median voter theorem suggests that the outcome most preferred by the median voter will be the one selected. In this scenario, assuming the table (not provided) lists preferences for the number of guards by voters in a way that can be ranked, the choice with the median level of support (i.e., the middle preference when all preferences are ordered) would be the number of guards to be employed. Without seeing the table, the correct answer aligns with the principle that the median preference (in this case, presumably for 4 guards) is what would be chosen according to the median voter theorem.
