Explanation:

To make the sentence concise and effective, we need to retain the core meaning (voters decide who becomes governor) while reducing wordiness.

• The first option omits the key detail about who the voters decide (who becomes governor).
• The third option adds unnecessary words ("be the ones to").
• The fourth option adds redundant phrasing ("end up becoming").
• The second option, "The voters will ultimately decide who will become the next governor," replaces "At the end of the day" with the more concise "ultimately" while keeping the essential meaning, making it the most concise and effective choice.

Answer:

B. The voters will ultimately decide who will become the next governor.
