C. to cast tie-breaking votes in the Senate

Explanation:

In the 20th and 21th centuries the vicepresident's figure turned into a position more related to the executive branch, and is often considered a crucial constituent in the president's administration.

Apart from succeeding the president in those two cases, the only remaning constitutional duty of a vicepresident is to chair the Senate. A vice president is not able to vote in the Senate but for breaking a tie, and needs the permission of the senators to appeal to the Senate in a formal way.

explanation:

after a more than a decade and a half of combating al qaeda (aq) in afghanistan and pakistan,

the united states faces a diverse array of threats from al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and

africa. while senior al qaeda figures reportedly remain based in pakistan, the network includes

a number of affiliates across the middle east and africa including al qaeda in the arabian

peninsula (aqap), al qaeda in the islamic maghreb (aqim), and al shabaab. al qaeda also

retains a small but possibly growing presence in afghanistan. u.s. officials have stated that al

qaeda still maintains a foothold in syria through its ties to hay’at tahrir al sham (formerly

known as the nusra front), though the exact nature of that relationship may be evolving. this

report examines the threat posed by al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and africa as described

by u.s. officials and outside observers, as well as the u.s. approach to date in responding to these

threats. this was all i could find hope this : )
