How many total members are there in the United States Senate?

50.
100.
435.
538.

The correct answer is: 100.

The United States Senate consists of 100 members, with each of the 50 states represented by two senators. This is a constant number and does not change based on population or state size. Hence, options A, C, and D are incorrect. Option A is the number of states in the US, not senators in the Senate. Option C is the number of members in the House of Representatives, not the Senate. And option D refers to the total number of members in both houses of Congress, not just the Senate. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
