A960

B540

C1200

D1296

Answer:

C. 1200

Read Explanation:

To find the total number of votes polled, let's first calculate the number of valid votes. Since the winning candidate got 54% of the votes and won by 96 votes, we can set up an equation.

Let's assume the total number of valid votes is 'x'. The winning candidate got 54% of 'x', and the losing candidate got 46% of 'x'. The difference between their votes is 96.

So, 54% of x - 46% of x = 96
8% of x = 96

Now, let's solve for x:
x = 96 / (8/100)
x = 96 / 0.08
x = 1200

Therefore, the total number of votes polled is 1200 ¹.
