Official answer

Answers will vary. [Residents of territories with nonvoting Delegates or Resident Commissioners may provide the name of that Delegate or Commissioner. Also acceptable is any statement that the territory has no (voting) Representatives in Congress.]

Explanation

The correct answer depends on the applicant's congressional district and changes with each election, so it has to be checked against the current official list. Residents of territories may name their Delegate or Resident Commissioner, or state that the territory has no voting Representative.
