The correct answer is B) A majority of the house signs a discharge petition.

A discharge petition is a procedure allowed in Congress that allows for a bill to be brought out of committee with the purpose of debating the issue on the house floor. This type of maneuver means that the committee researching the topic at hand do not have the chance to post an official report on the issue at hand.
