d.26

Answer:

The Borda Count method assigns points to candidates based on their ranking by each voter. If there are \( n \) candidates, the top-ranked candidate receives \( n-1 \) points, the second receives \( n-2 \) points, and so on.

In this case, with 3 candidates, the top-ranked candidate will receive \( 3-1 = 2 \) points, the second-ranked candidate will receive \( 3-2 = 1 \) point, and the third-ranked candidate will receive \( 3-3 = 0 \) points.

For each voter, the points assigned to the candidates are summed up. Since there are 50 voters, the maximum points a candidate can receive are \( 2 \times 50 = 100 \).

Therefore, the correct answer is (c) 100.
