C. Veto is the correct answer.

Explanation:

President of US has also been granted veto power by the constitution. If a bill passed by congress gets vetoed by the president then it can only become a law when congress passed the same bill again and the number of members of the two houses voting for it should be at least twice the number of members voting against it. It was invented in ancient Rome.
