D- If the net wins/losses are put in, then there is

      a      b      c     d      tot
a    X      6    -98  -6     -98   Min
b   -6     X      8      4        6
c   98    -8     X      4       94  Max
d   6     -4     -4     X      -2

t   98     -6    -94    2      0

I would question whether choice a could get a majority of YES votes on a 
simple YES/NO vote.
