e. both candidates will move toward the middle of the political spectrum.

Explanation:

The median voter theorem is a political theory by which the decisions of citizens when voting are divided into two groups which we will call as has traditionally been done: the political right and left.

The citizens of the left will vote to the left and vice versa but there will be a group of voters who have not decided their vote or who have preferences on the part of each of the two ideologies and who, depending on the moment, will vote for one or the other.
