Solution

The correct option is D Put responsibility for the choice on each lawmaker
Catt has already stated that the women's suffrage bill will eventually come into existence. After strongly arguing for her case, Catt ends with the statement that the bill is definitely coming, but it is up to the lawmakers whether they help bring it into existence or not. In this context, the almost question that the passage ends with serves the purpose of placing the responsibility of bringing the bill into existence on each lawmakers. Option D is the correct answer. The other options are incorrect as they do not fit the context.
