To determine the percentage of females who supported Wilson, let's take a look at the given relative frequency table:

[tex]\[ \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline & Wilson & Martinez & Total \\ \hline Females & 0.24 & 0.30 & 0.54 \\ \hline Males & 0.18 & 0.28 & 0.46 \\ \hline Total & 0.42 & 0.58 & 1.0 \\ \hline \end{tabular} \][/tex]

From the table, we observe that the proportion of females who supported Wilson is given as 0.24.

To convert this proportion into a percentage, we multiply by 100:

[tex]\[ 0.24 \times 100 = 24 \][/tex]

So, the percentage of females polled who supported Wilson is:

[tex]\[ 24 \% \][/tex]

Thus, the correct answer is:
A. [tex]\( 24 \% \)[/tex]
