Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
This process is consistent with the truth-supported wins rule, which means that the correct answer is accepted only when it is supported by more than one person's opinion. In this case, Edwina's answer was not initially accepted until Edward also agreed with it, indicating a majority consensus and application of the truth-supported wins rule.
