What are the requirements to run for the US House of Representatives?

At least 30 years old, resident of the state, citizen for 9 years
At least 25 years old, live in the state, citizen for 7 years
At least 18 years old, citizen for 5 years, resident in the district
At least 35 years old, natural born citizen, resident for 14 years

The correct answer is: At least 25 years old, live in the state, citizen for 7 years

To run for the US House of Representatives, one must be at least 25 years old, live in the state they wish to represent, and be a citizen of the United States for at least 7 years. This requirement is outlined in Article 1, Section 2 of the US Constitution. Option A's requirements are incorrect because the representative does not have to be a resident of the state, only live in it. Option C is incorrect because it mentions only being a resident of the district, when in fact one must live in the state. Option D's requirements are incorrect because being a natural born citizen is only a requirement for running for President, not for the House of Representatives.
