The correct answer is B. The voters have representatives called the Electoral College, who determine the president and vice president.
The 12th Amendment established the procedure for electing the president and vice president, ensuring that they are elected together by the Electoral College rather than the previous system where the candidate with the highest votes became president and the runner-up became vice president.
