Final answer:

The Spanish name for the "Voladores" is indeed 'Los Voladores'; none of the options provided (Los Descensores, Los Danzantes, Los Peregrinos, Los Soñadores) are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Spanish name for the "Voladores" in the traditional Totonac performance of La Danza de los Voladores is Los Voladores.

The options presented (A. Los Descensores, B. Los Danzantes, C. Los Peregrinos, D. Los Soñadores) do not specifically refer to the "Voladores" of this ceremony. The term "Voladores" translates directly to "flyers" in English, which appropriately describes the performers' act of descending from a tall pole as a connection between Earth and the heavens, an important aspect of the performance's symbolism and cultural significance.
