It was the "Great Compromise" (also known as the Connecticut Compromise) that took elements of both the New Jersey and Virginia plans, and<span> settled the issue of representation in the legislature in that called for two houses in the legislature: the Senate and the House of Representatives, with the Senate having a set number of representatives per state (which favored the smaller states), and the House having representatives based on state population size (which favored the larger states). </span>

Correct answer choice is :

D) The Great compromise

Explanation:

The Great Compromise, also recognized as the Connecticut Compromise, the Great Compromise of 1787, or the Sherman Compromise, was a compromise created within large and small states which partly explained the representation each state would have under the United States Constitution, as well as in government. At the time of the conference, the South was rising more quickly than the North, and Southern states had the greatest Western claims. South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia were small in the 1780s, but they presumed growth, and thus supported equal representation.
