Answer 1

C. it gave each state two senators and a number of representatives based on population.

The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, established a bicameral legislature in which each state would have two senators (providing equal representation) and a number of representatives based on its population in the House of Representatives (providing representation based on population). This compromise helped to balance the interests of smaller states and larger states during the Constitutional Convention.
