Of all the answer choices provided, B seems to be the answer. The reason why is because only the vice president, which is the leader of the senate can override the votes, and can also stop the debate.

Answer:

B. Only the vice president can stop the debate and call for a vote on a proposal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The United States Senate is the upper house of the Congress of the United States, and together with the House of Representatives of the United States, the federal legislation emanates. The composition and powers of the Senate are set forth in Article I of the Constitution of the United States, and each state is represented by two senators, regardless of their population, who are elected by uninominal majority scrutiny. The Senate chamber is renewed by thirds every six years. In this way a senator lasts 6 years in office, being able to be re-elected.

Its geographical location is located in the north wing of the United States Capitol in Washington DC, the capital of the country. The House of Representatives meets in the south wing of the same building.
