Answer 2

c. quorum

Step-by-step explanation:

A quorum is the minimum number of members who must be present for a legislative body to take official action.

It is usually stated as a fraction of the total number of members of the legislative body. For example a legislative body with 24 members may require that two-third of the member be available for an official decision to be taken.

This means that 16 members of the legislative body must be available before an official action or decision can be taken.
