Answer:
The correct answer is B. but a decreasing share of Internet users speak English.
Explanation:
According to a 2009 UNESCO report, in 1998 75% of all websites were in English, while by 2005 it was only 45%. Similarly, by 2011, the number of English websites grew 281% over a 10-year period, but this growth was dwarfed by the one experienced by other languages such as Spanish (743%) or Chinese (1,277%). The predominance of English on the early days of the internet can be attributed by the impulse given to it in the United States, which is the first country where the internet became widespread. However, as internet use became more common worldwide, <u>English speakers have increasingly become a smaller share of the total number of internet users.</u> By 2019, English-speaking users represented only around 25% of all users, followed by Chinese speakers (19%) and Spanish speakers (8%).

Thus, political disputes were generated because many times it could happen that these candidates did not have similar political plans, or even didn't belong to the same party. With the approval of this Amendment, the vice president moved to integrate the presidential ballot, with which the voters had to start choosing candidates for both positions, and not only for the presidency.
