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.
