Answer: The correct answer is : d. loose construction

Explanation: The loose constructionists say that the interpretation of the constitution should not be narrow, neither strict nor literal in its language. They stated that the meaning of words could change over the years and there is ambiguity in some meanings.

The loose constructionists like Hamilton said that the literal language of the Constitution or the statutes should be interpreted in the light of contemporary society, social behavior and common understanding of language.
