The correct answer is C. If the majority party in the House is the Democratic party, then the Speaker will be a member of the Democratic party.

The Speaker of the House is the president of the United States House of Representatives, member of the majority party in the House.

The Speaker occupies the second place in the line of presidential succession, after the Vice President of the United States, which also assumes ex officio the Presidency Pro Tempore of the Senate.
