  1. 50.

  2. 100.

  3. 435.

  4. 538.

The correct answer is: 435.

The United States House of Representatives is composed of 435 members. Option A is incorrect because it is the number of states in the United States, not the number of House of Representatives members. Option B is incorrect because it is the number of total members of Congress. Option D is incorrect because it is the number of total members of the Electoral College, which includes both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
