Why is the answer B and not C???

 

[Doommonkey]

12*153 = 1836 (so there's 3 votes remaining).
These 3 votes could also be evenly distributed across 3 candidates for president (154 votes each).
But one candidate must receive more votes than all other candidates.
So 155 votes is the number of votes they must receive to become president.
