The correct answer is 50 senators.
To determine the number of senators that would constitute a majority, we need to understand that a majority refers to more than half of the total number of senators. In this case, we are given that there are 100 U.S. senators in total.
To find the majority, we need to divide the total number of senators by 2 and round up to the nearest whole number. This is because we cannot have a fractional number of senators.
Doing the calculation: 100 divided by 2 equals 50. Since 50 is exactly half of the total number of senators, any number greater than 50 would represent a majority.
Therefore, the correct answer is 50 senators.
