Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a two-phase election, the median voter's preference is determined by comparing options pairwise and finding the one that wins against all others. Comparing apples, bananas, and peaches: - Apples vs. Bananas: Apples are preferred by A and C, so apples win. - Apples vs. Peaches: Apples are preferred by A and C, so apples win again. - Bananas vs. Peaches: Bananas are preferred by B and C, but this comparison is irrelevant since apples have already won against both. Therefore, the median voter's preference is apples.
