Step-by-step explanation:

D) An amendment could go through with three-quarters of the states voting to support it.

According to Article V of the United States Constitution, an amendment to the Constitution can be proposed either by a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress, or by a convention called for that purpose by two-thirds of the state legislatures. Once an amendment is proposed, it must be ratified by three-fourths of the states (38 out of 50) in order for it to become part of the Constitution. This process allows for the Constitution to be amended, but also ensures that any changes to it are made with the support of a significant majority of the states.
