The available options are:

A. There would be two houses in Congress, and representatives would be assigned based on state population.

B. There would be one house in Congress, and every state would have the same number of representatives.

C. There would be two houses in Congress, and every state would have the same number of representatives.

D. There would be one house in Congress, and representatives would be assigned based on state population.

Answer:

There would be two houses in Congress, and representatives would be assigned based on state population.

Step-by-step explanation:

Virginia plan was a proposal made during the Constitutional Convention. During this period, Virginia has a larger population and felt that unlike the Articles of Confederation that allows each state to have one representation each, the new constitution should allow "two houses in Congress, and representatives would be assigned based on state population." This would allow Virginia state to have significant say in the development of the United States.
