The correct answer is C.

There are three types of committees : standing committees, select or special committees and joint committees.

Standing committees are permanent panels identified as such in chamber rules ( House of Representatives Rule, Senate Rule ). They have legislative jurisdiction and their role is to consider bills and issues and to inform the respective chambers of recommended measures for consideration. In other words, these committees do the basic hand -on work on a bill or proposal which is then elaborated at length in both chambers.

Most standing committees recommend funding levels for government organisations and for new and existing programs.

The standing committees usually have 6 to 50 members pro committee.
