The correct answer is D. Congress.
The Virginia Plan proposed a strong national government with a bicameral legislature, meaning that power would be exercised by Congress in areas where individual states were not capable of governing effectively. This plan emphasized that a centralized authority was necessary to handle certain issues that transcended state boundaries.
