Answer:

Except B. Voters are less likely to know the issue positions of their senators than their representatives.

Step-by-step explanation:

In general Incumbents have system advantages over challengers during elections. For example, they share the timing of elections may be determined by incumbents. Visibility and media also play in favour of them, but mostly for the members of the House who continually expose their positions about different topics and issues. Senators' visibility and media attention are not different from representatives.
