To calculate the modified Borda count for each option, we need to assign points according to each voter's preferences:
Option A: 10+5+0+1 = 16
Option B: 5+10+0+1 = 16
Option C: 3+3+10+10 = 26
Option D: 1+1+3+5 = 10

Therefore, C would win with 26 points, followed by A and B tied with 16 points, and D with 10 points.
