The correct answer is A. Approve international treaties.
The Senate has the constitutional authority to provide “advice and consent” on treaties made by the president. This means that once a treaty is negotiated and signed by the president, it must be submitted to the Senate, where two-thirds of the senators present must vote in favor of it for the treaty to be ratified. The Senate does not negotiate treaties or have the president sign them; its role is primarily to review and approve treaties.
