To find a winning coalition, we need to add up the weights of the voters in each group. 
For option A: 
A + E = 12 + 3 = 15 (not enough to win as the total required is 20)

For option B: 
B + D + E = 8 + 3 + 3 = 14 
This coalition needs one other voter to win.

For option C: 
A + D = 12 + 3 = 15 (not enough to win as the total required is 20)

For option D: 
C + D + E = 4 + 3 + 3 = 10 (not enough to win as the total required is 20)

Therefore, the winning coalition is option B which includes voters B, D, and E with a total weight of 14.
