Explanation:

Under the Virginia Plan, representation in the legislature is based on a state's population. We compare the populations: Virginia (538,000) > New York (211,000) > Rhode Island (53,000) > Delaware (45,000). So Virginia, with the highest population, would have the most representatives.

Answer:

Virginia, with a population of about 538,000
