The Method of Pairwise Comparisons involves comparing each candidate to every other candidate in a series of one-on-one matchups. The candidate who wins the most matchups is the winner of the election. In this case, A wins 3 matchups (A vs. B, A vs. C, and A vs. D), while B wins 2 matchups (B vs. C and B vs. D), and C and D each win 1 matchup (C vs. D and D vs. B, respectively). Therefore, A is the winner of the election using the Method of Pairwise Comparisons.
