I believe the answer is:a. Its members have six-year terms, with one-third of the total members up for re-election every two years.

In united states government, 33% of the senate seats would be up for re-election every even years. The number of senates that represent the states are dependent on the number of population within the states. (Small states such as delaware and vermon are only allowed to have 1 senate)
