The correct answer is: **b. Yes if the laws of their state provide for criminal punishment**.
Some states have laws that impose penalties on electors who do not follow the popular vote results, which can potentially include criminal punishment or fines. However, the enforcement of such laws and whether a faithless elector can face jail time can vary by state.
