The correct answer is B) Setting the agenda for major legislation.
One of the main powers of the majority party in both houses of Congress is setting the agenda for major legislation.
The majority party in the House of Representatives or the Senate has the power to establish the agenda of the most important issues that need to be addressed in Congres for the next legislative period. They need to work in coordination with the members of the minority party in order to pass legislation that is needed in the United States. Both parties need to negotiate professionally in order to pass legislation and not to get a halt in the legislative work due to ideology differences.
