D. An explorer who leads an unapproved military charge into a foreign country.

This is because historically, the word comes from the Spanish word "filibustero", which meant somebody who invaded foreign countries.

Had the context of the unit been about the American judicial system, the answer would've been C. an action taken by members of the United States Congress to stall a vote.
