Each states population is used to determine the number of representatives it sends to Congress .

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The state population determines its representatives sent to Congress because the law sets the number of representatives at 435, it, therefore, means that as the population changes so do the number of representatives a state is supposed to have changed but the estimated number is not to be changed, it is to remain the same. And every state must have at least one representative, as some states acquire a large number of representatives so does some other lose representatives.

Congress is broken up into two sectors, the House of Representatives, and the Senate. Each state has 2 representatives in the Senate, and the number of representatives in the House is dependent on the state's population.
