Answer 1

The correct option is B casting vote

A casting vote can be defined as a vote which may be exercised ( usually in addition to his or her normal vote as a member of the body, if he or she has one) by the presiding officer of a council or legislative body, or of any committee, to resolve a deadlock and which can be exercised only when such a deadlock exists.
