I think it is B. The south was based on agriculture.
It's just asking you what group wins the majority (aka most of the votes) on a law, out of 10 votes.
for example, say you have a group voting on whether or not a club should get shirts made. 6 people say YES SHIRTS and 4 people say NO THAT IDEA SUCKS.
the YES SHIRTS group won the vote by a margin of 2, because 2 more people voted for shirts than the amount of people who think shirts suck. it's asking you what most of the group in your question agreed on.
Money
Mansion
Being rich
Cars
Fame
