Condorcet Criterion Independance of Irrelevant Alternatives Criterion Monotonicity Criterion Majority Criterion

Answer 1

The violation in this election is related to the Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives Criterion. This criterion states that the winner should not change if irrelevant alternatives (in this case, yellow cake) are added or removed. However, the winner changed when two people who voted for yellow cake changed their votes, indicating a violation of the Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives Criterion.
