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

50.
100.
435.
538.

The correct answer is: 100.

The United States Senate is made up of 100 members, with each state being represented by two senators. Option A is incorrect because there are not 50 states in the United States. Option C is incorrect because 435 is the total number of members in the United States House of Representatives, not the Senate. Option D is incorrect because 538 is the total number of Electoral College members, which includes both the 100 senators and 435 representatives. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 100 members.
