    C is the correct answer.

    The Speaker of the House is usually the strongest figure in the majority party. Since the Congresswoman is in the minority party, she would not be eligible for either the Majority leader or Speaker position.

    Since she is the MOST powerful representative in her party, it is unlikely she would be a whip, which acts as a deputy for the party's leaders.

    So, C is the correct answer.
