When people vote for the president, they are actually voting for their state's electors. The correct answer is option C, electors.

To understand why, let's go through the process of electing the President of the United States:

1. Primaries and Caucuses: Before the general election, political parties hold primaries or caucuses in each state to determine their nominee for president. During this process, registered voters in each state vote to select delegates who will represent the candidate they support at the party's national convention.

2. National Conventions: After the primaries and caucuses, each political party holds a national convention. Delegates from each state attend these conventions to officially nominate their party's candidate for president. This is where the candidate is formally chosen by the party.

3. Electoral College: The United States uses an electoral system to elect the president, known as the Electoral College. The Electoral College is made up of electors - individuals chosen by each state - who cast their votes for the president.

4. General Election: On Election Day, citizens in each state cast their votes for their preferred presidential candidate. However, these votes are not directly counted towards the final outcome. Instead, the votes determine which candidate's electors will represent the state in the Electoral College.

5. Electors: Each state has a certain number of electors based on its representation in Congress. The electors are typically chosen by political parties or appointed by the state legislature. They are pledged to vote for the candidate who wins the popular vote in their respective state.

6. Electoral Votes and Certification: In most states, the candidate who wins the popular vote receives all of that state's electoral votes. The candidate who receives a majority (270 out of 538) of the electoral votes becomes the President-elect. The final step is the certification of the Electoral College's votes by Congress.

In conclusion, when people vote for the president, they are actually voting for their state's electors who will cast their official votes in the Electoral College to determine the President of the United States.
