Cloture is the process by which the Senate can limit the amount of time spent debating a bill or a nominee. It requires a vote of 60 senators to invoke cloture and end a filibuster, which is an extended debate used to delay or block a vote on a bill. A vote of cloture limits debate on a bill or nominee to a maximum of 30 hours, after which a final vote must be taken. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
