  4. At least 18 years old, citizen for 5 years, live in the state

The correct answer is: At least 30 years old, resident of the state, citizen for 9 years

To run for the US Senate, one needs to meet the following requirements - At least 30 years old - Resident of the state they want to represent - US citizen for at least 9 years Option B is incorrect because the age requirement is too low. Option C is incorrect because it includes a natural born citizen requirement that is not necessary for Senate eligibility. Option D is incorrect because the age and citizenship requirements are too low and it does not mention residency in the state. So, option A is the only correct answer as it includes all the necessary requirements mentioned.
