How many total members are there in the United States House of Representatives?

50.
100.
435.
538.

The correct answer is: 435.

The United States House of Representatives is one of the two chambers of the United States Congress, the other being the Senate. It is responsible for making and passing federal laws, as well as representing the interests of the citizens of their respective districts. With this context in mind, it is clear that the correct answer is 435, as this is the current and official number of members in the House of Representatives. Option A (50) and B (100) are incorrect as they refer to the number of states in the United States and the number of senators in the Senate respectively. Option D (538) is also incorrect as it combines the number of members in the House of Representatives and Senate, which is not what the question is asking for.
