Every 2 years.
Every 4 years.
Every 6 years.
Every 8 years.

Members of the House of Representatives are elected every 2 years. This allows for more frequent reevaluation of representatives and ensures that the House remains closely tied to the will of the people. Option B is incorrect, as this term length is reserved for the President of the United States. Option C is incorrect, as this term length is reserved for members of the Senate. Option D is incorrect, as this term length is not used for any elected federal office in the United States.
