The correct answer is A) session.

According to the rules of parliamentary procedure, a Bill which has been rejected by either House of the Parliament cannot be re-introduced in the same session. This rule is based on the principle that a matter once decided by the House should not be brought up again during the same session (rule against repetition). The Bill can be introduced again in a subsequent session.

A parliamentary session is the period between the first sitting of a House and its prorogation or dissolution. Typically, there are three sessions in a year: Budget Session, Monsoon Session, and Winter Session. Rejection of a Bill means that the House has voted against it at the third reading or has disagreed with amendments proposed by the other House in such a way that a deadlock is reached which cannot be resolved by joint sitting (e.g., Constitution Amendment Bill).
