In the 2000 election, California had the most electoral votes and ultimately the state selected Al Gore for president. California, being the most populous state, had a significant number of electoral votes, which are proportional to its population and congressional representation. Despite Al Gore's win in the popular vote nationally and in states such as California, it was the electoral votes in the state of Florida that ultimately determined the outcome of the election, pushing George W. Bush ahead to win the presidency.

In the 2000 election, Al Gore won California, which has the most electoral votes. Hence, option C, "most electoral votes and selected Al Gore for president," is correct. The election highlighted the complexities of the Electoral College system, especially with Bush winning the presidency despite losing the popular vote nationwide.
