Explanation:

1. House of Representatives: Representatives are elected by congressional districts. Vincent is in California's 12th district, Maureen in the 52nd district. Different districts mean different House representatives, so "Vincent and Maureen share a representative in the House" is false, and "Vincent and Maureen have different representatives in the House" is true.
2. Senate: Each state has 2 senators, and all residents of a state share the same senators. Both Vincent and Maureen live in California, so they share the same senators. Thus, "Vincent and Maureen share a senator" is true, and "Vincent and Maureen have different senators" is false.

Answer:

B. Vincent and Maureen share a senator
C. Vincent and Maureen have different representatives in the House
