Answer for screen readers
The final answer is C, both Kate and Samira are correct.
More Information
Both statements are correct because of the voting rules and majority logic. A movie needs a minimum of 5 votes to stand a chance with 21 votes distributed among 5 choices. If one movie gets 11 votes, it will definitely be the winner since no other movie can exceed 10 votes.
Tips
A common mistake is not recognizing the importance of majority in voting systems. Another is not correctly calculating the minimum vote required for possible victory.
