Answer :

As Senator Dodd of Illinois was elected in 1998 and decided to run again when his term expires, he will again face election in the year 2004. The correct option for the question is option “b”. Any Senator of US once elected remains as a Senator for a period of 6 years. After this period he can again stand in the election and get elected for another 6 years. No Senator can remain as a Senator after 6 years have passed as this is the law laid down in the US constitution.
