    Answer

    B. the committee of the whole

    Explanation

    In the United States, the House of Representatives has a committee of the whole House which includes all members of the House. Whenever the House resolves itself to form this committee, there is a specific matter that requires deliberation. When the committee has completed its task, it ceases to exist. In this example, the task of the group was to review the bill as the current schedule of debates. After the review the group decided that the bill was not important enough to justify a debate, thus it refused to arrange a schedule and killed the bill.
