    D. Candidate B and Candidate C would each receive some of the state's electoral votes in proportion to their shares of the popular vote.

    Explanation:

    An election must have a fair and correct vote count, where each candidate must receive the electoral votes in proportion to the popular votes that each one received. That is, there can be no fraud or manipulation of results, so each candidate must receive the portion of votes assigned to him or her. Thus, we can conclude that in the case of the above question, candidate B and candidate C will each receive some of the state's electoral votes in proportion to their shares in the popular vote.
