To determine pairwise majority voting, we compare the percentage of voters who prefer each outcome over the other two outcomes. Comparing A and B, 55% prefer B and 45% prefer A. Comparing A and C, 60% prefer A and 40% prefer C. Finally, comparing B and C, 60% prefer B and 40% prefer C. Therefore, in pairwise majority voting, B is preferred to A, A is preferred to C, and C is preferred to B, which is shown in option C.
