Table 22-15
Diane, Henry, and Linda are voting for who to promote. They can only promote one candidate. Their preferences are given in the table below.
-Refer to Table 22-15. Which of the following statements is correct regarding the Condorcet paradox and the results of pairwise voting by Henry, Diane, and Linda?
A)The paradox implies that pairwise voting never produces transitive preferences, and so the voting by Henry, Diane, and Linda fails to produce transitive preferences.
B)The paradox implies that pairwise voting sometimes (but not always) produces transitive preferences, and the voting by Henry, Diane, and Linda does produce transitive preferences.
C)The paradox implies that pairwise voting sometimes (but not always) fails to produce transitive preferences, and the voting by Henry, Diane, and Linda fails to produce transitive preferences.
D)The paradox does not apply to the case at hand, because Henry's preferences are not individually transitive.
