The correct option is B

The Electoral College is the body of elected representatives charged with electing the president and vice president of the United States. The Electoral College has 538 electors since 1964. The electoral college of each state issues its vote on the first Monday following the second Wednesday of December, and the two chambers of Congress officially count and verify the final results in the first week of January. The electoral college is an example of indirect election.
