The Condorcet Candidate is C.

A Condorcet Candidate is a candidate who defeats every other candidate in a pairwise comparison. In other words, a Condorcet Candidate is a candidate who is preferred by a majority of the voters over every other candidate.

To find the Condorcet Candidate, we can use the following method:

For each pair of candidates, count the number of voters who prefer the first candidate to the second candidate and the number of voters who prefer the second candidate to the first candidate.

The candidate who wins more pairwise comparisons than any other candidate is the Condorcet Candidate.

In the image you provided, we have the following pairwise comparison results:

| Pair | Voter preference |

| C vs. A | 14 vs. 3 |

| C vs. B | 13 vs. 10 |

| A vs. B | 10 vs. 13 |

As we can see, Candidate C defeats both Candidate A and Candidate B in pairwise comparisons. Therefore, Candidate C is the Condorcet Candidate.

This means that if the election were held using a Condorcet method, such as the Schulze method or the Borda count, Candidate C would be the winner.
