In a unicameral legislation, there is only one legislative body, hence the prefix uni-.
In a parliamentary, the government officials act only as advisors to the main chief of state.
A bicameral legislation has two legislative bodies, hence the prefix bi-.
A full court press is not a type of legislation.

The United States has two legislative houses, the Senate and the House of Representatives, which makes up the Congress.
So the answer is C) bicameral.
