Verified archiveThe correct answer is D. a two-thirds majority of Congress.
Explanation: Amendments to the U.S. Constitution can be proposed either by a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the state legislatures. This requirement ensures that proposed amendments have substantial support before moving forward in the amendment process.
