which of the following statements is supported by the information in the table?
a people in urban areas are much more likely to vote republican than democratic.
b voters are more influenced by where they live than the platforms of candidates.
c voting patterns vary across areas of different population densities.
d citizen journalism has a more significant influence on the outcome of elections than traditional media.

Explanation:

• Option A: The table shows more Democratic votes in some years, so urban voters aren't more likely to vote Republican. Eliminate A.
• Option B: The table doesn't provide data on voter influence from location vs. candidate platforms. Eliminate B.
• Option C: The table (with years and party votes, implying different population density areas) shows varying voting patterns (e.g., 2014 vs 2016/2018 Democratic/Republican counts change), supporting that voting patterns vary by population density areas.
• Option D: The table has no data on journalism's influence. Eliminate D.

Answer:

C. Voting patterns vary across areas of different population densities.
