Despite popular belief, the U.S. Constitution does not provide for the popular election of the American president. It provides for popular election of presidential electors. Each candidate who qualifies for a given state's ballot must designate certain individuals who will serve as his or her electors if that candidate wins the popular vote in that state.

When each state certifies a winner of its overall popular vote, that winner is entitled to send all his or her electors to that state's Capitol, where they will officially record their votes for their candidate. All the electors in all the states do it on the same day, the first Monday after the second Wednesday of December. This year it is Dec. 19, which is the latest it can be, just as this year's Election Day is the latest it can be.

Explanation: Both the southern states of Mexico and India are known to produce coffee and I believe that their northern states produce little to no coffee. Additionally, East Africa and Southeast Asia are major producers of coffee beans so A and B are inaccurate.*

*This answer is not by any means entirely correct and is my own assumption but if you do a little research on the coffee production of Mexico and India, you will find that their southern states are often mentioned, and more so than their northern states.
