select one
a. filibuster.
b. cloture.
c. legislative veto.
d closed rule.

Explanation:

Cloture is the procedure in the U.S. Senate that requires a three - fifths majority (60 votes when there are 100 senators) to end debate on a bill. A filibuster is an attempt to prolong debate, a legislative veto is a different legislative power, and a closed rule in the House of Representatives limits amendments, not related to setting time limits on Senate debate.

Answer:

b. cloture
