The statement that best describes how popular sovereignty applies to federalism is that the people elect representatives, who govern according to the people's wishes. The people want someone to listen to their fears about the country and laws they think should be in effect. The correct answer is D. 
I believe the answer is: D.The people elect representatives, who govern according to the people’s wishes.

Under popular sovereignity, the citizens do not have the power to directly vote for the type of legislation that they desired (in contrast to direct democracy).

But, the citizens could appoint the representative who had similar view and principle with them and give their trust to that representative to make the legislation that would benefit them.
