check answer remaining attempts : 3

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option describes separation of powers/checks and balances, not a filibuster.
• The second option refers to senatorial courtesy, not a filibuster.
• The third option: A filibuster is a prolonged debate (often in the Senate) to delay or prevent a vote, including on judicial appointments. This matches the definition.
• The fourth option describes a cloture vote (to end a filibuster), not the filibuster itself.
