The correct answer is B. They are usually elected by popular vote.

I believe the answer is: they are usually elected by popular vote.

In popular votes, the one who won the election is determined by pure majority method (the one that receive the most individual votes win). This is a little bit different from determining the leader of the country, which adopt an electoral voting system, where each states are assigned a certain amount of point, so some amount of  individual couts wouldn't be matter that much.
