Answer 2

The Senate can invoke cloture to limit debate and proceed to a floor vote.

Step-by-step explanation:

1st option: Proceeding to a vote would definitely end any sort of tactic to stall the approval of the candidate.

2nd option: The candidate can't be approved without votes, otherwise it would be an unfair election.

3rd option: Blocking all candidates from being recommended is against the policy for a fair election.

4th option: This would make the filibuster more effective and let the senators waste more time.

Hence, option 1 is the right answer.
