Apologies for the confusion. The correct answer is:

D. Mandatory Spending

Mandatory spending includes entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, which are authorized by law and do not require annual appropriations bills to be passed by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. On the other hand, discretionary spending does require legislation to be passed by these committees.
