Answer 1

The candidate received at least 250 votes in half of the 4 towns

Explanation:

The median means that it is the halfway point in a list from greatest to smallest votes per town. If 250 is the median it means at least half voted 250+ and hald voted less therefore the answer: "The candidate received at least 250 votes in half of the 4 towns" is the only option that could be correct.
