I agree antonskd, but the question isn’t asking what the smart thing to do is. It’s asking what mode gives nodes a vote. Since it doesn’t mention storage, quorum disks, or best practices… I’d have to say A.

I agree with Wazmac. "A" because of the way it's worded.

i suppose that we need a witness for the 2-node cluster. So i bet for B & C. Node majority is not a good idea for the 2-node cluster.
