B
Most states have legislatures with upper and lower houses of equal size.
C
Most states have legislatures with large upper and lower houses.
D
Most states have legislatures with a small upper house and a large lower house.

Explanation

Most state legislatures have two chambers: an upper house, usually called the Senate, and a lower house, usually called the House of Representatives or Assembly. The Senate typically has fewer members, while the lower house has more, so the best answer is “a small upper house and a large lower house.”
