Explanation:

The 17th Amendment to the US Constitution changed the way US Senators are elected. Before the amendment, senators were chosen by state legislatures. The 17th Amendment established that senators are elected by the people of their state. The option "Allowed governors to appoint anyone they wanted as the state’s senators" is incorrect as the 17th Amendment is about popular election, not gubernatorial appointments. The option "Outlawed alcohol" refers to the 18th Amendment, not the 17th.

Answer:

Senators were elected by the people of their state (instead of chosen by the state legislature)
