50.
100.
435.
538.

The correct answer is: 435.

The total number of members in the United States House of Representatives is 435, which is option C. This answer is correct because according to the United States Constitution, the House of Representatives is made up of 435 members elected from each of the 50 states, proportionally based on population. Option A, 50, is incorrect as that is the number of states in the United States. Option B, 100, is incorrect as that is the number of members in the United States Senate. Option D, 538, is incorrect as it includes the total number of members in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
