The correct answer is D) Apportionment of legislative seats.

The Baker v. Carr case revolved around the case made by Republican Mayor of Millington, Tennessee (Charles Baker) who complained that the legislative districts in the state have now been redrawn in almost 60 years. This was a significant problem, as redistricting is supposed to take place every 10 years based on the new census data.

Answer:

d. apportionment of legislative seats

Explanation:

The case Baker v. Carr was a landmark case of the Supreme Court in which the Court argued that redistricting was a topic that the federal courts were allowed to examine. This was a response to the fact that the state of Tennessee has argued that redistricting was a political, and not a legal question. Redistricting is an important process in the United States as it determines the apportionment of legislative seats in Congress.
