Which of the following best describes a problem that occurs when the majority criterion is observed?

A) The majority criterion cannot be upheld with the Condorcet method.

B) The majority criterion only considers the first-place votes.

C) The majority criterion must be used for first place, second place, third place, and so on to be valid.

D) The majority criterion never applies when the plurality method is used.

Option C is the statement that best describes a problem that occurs when the majority criterion is observed. This is because the majority criterion is a single-winner system.

Majority criterion:

This criterion states that "if one candidate is ranked first by a majority, then that candidate must win".
This method complies with the other criteria like the Condorcet method and Plurality method etc.
This is applied in such a situation where one person has to be selected.
