What happens if a motion fails to receive a majority vote?

When a motion fails to receive a majority vote, it means that the necessary support for the motion has not been reached, resulting in its rejection by the assembly. In this context, the motion being "not adopted" signifies that it cannot be advanced to the next stage of discussion or implementation within that meeting.

While it is true that some motions can be brought back for consideration under specific circumstances, in this case, the failure to obtain a majority effectively ends the current consideration of the motion. Once a motion has been decided upon — specifically when it is voted down — it is not automatically open for another vote or further discussion in that same meeting unless specific provisions (like reconsideration under certain rules) are invoked.

Thus, the essence of option C reflects the principle of parliamentary procedure that a failed motion does not get revisited without substantial cause or a change in circumstances during the session it was proposed.
