A. People tend to vote for the candidates who they find most appealing, rather than the ones whose  beliefs are most like their own.

Explanation:

The appearance of the candidate has proven to be vital in the voting process. People tend to vote for those candidates which they like more than for those with whom they agree and who represent the policies they support. They will more likely vote for the person they find more attractive and good looking.
