The correct answer is: 435.

The total number of members in the United States House of Representatives is 435, which is option C.

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.
