Answer:

B) two-thirds vote

Step-by-step explanation:

A third is a measurement. So is Two Thirds. You hyphenate when you have an adjective that has two words, as you can find in the other options, or when you have a prefix. In this case, though, it's neither of those, therefore it should not have a hyphen.
