The answer is D. " The Twenty-seventh Amendment (Amendment XXVII) to the United States Constitution prohibits any law that increases or decreases the salary of members of Congress from taking effect until the start of the next set of terms of office for Representatives."

It's either B or D because Congress isn't allowed to vote for their own pay raise after the ratification of the 27th amendment but i'm leaning more towards D.
