If a congressional committee wanted to kill a bill completely before allowing a full debate over it it would most likely

The answer would be D. refuse to report the measure

The correct option is this: REFUSE TO REPORT THE MEASURE.
The congress is the one responsible for passing bills and a bill can be introduced only by the members of the congress. There are two types of bill, private and public bills. A bill normally passes through a lot of stages before it becomes a law and it is only very few bills that ever become laws due to the rigorous activities that they have to pass through.
 If a congressional committee want to kill a bill all they have to do is to refuse to report the bill, that is, the bill will not be introduced at all.
