Answer:

c. Directly elected by eligible voters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The House of Representatives is the lower house of the Congress, the upper house being the Senate. And these two houses play an equal part in the legislation and lawmaking process of the whole nation.

The members of the House of Representatives are elected by the eligible voters of the Congressional district from which the candidate is contesting. This means that the state that the candidate will represent will hold an election to cast votes for the House member, but only for eligible and legal voters within that state.

Thus, the correct answer is option c.
