Answer:

The correct answer is D. the Virginia Plan vs. New Jersey Plan

Explanation:

The Virginia Plan proposed that the states get represented in the government by population, and that there are two different houses in the government. This was in favor of the southern states, of which had the largest populations at the time.

The New Jersey Plan proposed that the states get represented in the government equally, and that there is only one house in the government.

The compromise was made, and it was decided that there were two houses(from the Virginia Plan), one house represented by population(also the Virginia Plan), and the other house represented equally(from the New Jersey plan).

These are known as the House of Representatives(population representation) and the Senate(equal representation).
