a a pro - ratification vote by 2/3 of the state governors
b a pro - ratification vote by 3/4 of the members of each house of congress
c a pro - ratification vote by 3/4 of the state legislatures
d a pro - ratification vote by 2/3 of the voters in a national referendum

Explanation:

The U.S. Constitution has two ratification methods for amendments. The chart already lists ratification via state conventions in 3/4 of states; the other method is approval from the legislatures of 3/4 of the states. The other options do not match the official constitutional amendment ratification processes.

Answer:

C. A pro-ratification vote by 3/4 of the State legislatures
