Answer 1

The option (D) is correct. the filibuster can be used in the Senate to stop a bill from being passed.

Further Explanation:

Filibuster:

It is a political procedure which is used to stop or delay the bill. The power of filibuster is given to the senators. A senator has the right to discuss a topic in congress for as long as he wants.  It can be used for the delaying the bill or legislation. But, in 1917, a new rule was proposed where a discussion can be ended by gaining the  2/3 votes. This practice is known as cloture. Filibuster had resulted in a very complex system as any member of the meeting can adjourn the passing of the bill for an unlimited time.  

Thus, the filibuster can be used to stop a bill to be passed by continuing a discussion for a long time.
