Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Senate has an equal number of representatives per state, which is 2. There are 50 states, thus there are 100 total senators. This came from the Great Compromise (3/5 Compromise) which appealed to the New Jersey Plan [Equal representation in Congress] and the Virginia Plan [Representation based on population in Congress]
