Looking at the table, we can see that the majority of voters (36%) preferred spending $2 million on developing the river. Therefore, if the first ballot only includes $1.5 million and $2 million, it's likely that voters will select the higher amount of $2 million. On the other hand, if the second ballot includes $2 million and $2.5 million, it's still likely that voters will select $2 million, as it is the option preferred by the majority of voters. Therefore, the best choice is C, which states that voters will select $2 million if the first ballot is used and if the second ballot is used voters will select $2 million.
