Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Cortes Generales is the official name of the national parliament of Spain. As established by the Spanish Constitution of 1978, it is a bicameral legislature consisting of two houses: the Congress of Deputies (lower house) and the Senate (upper house). The term 'Cortes' originated in the Middle Ages as advisory councils to the king and was later adopted as the name for the national parliament in both Spain and Portugal. In the modern Spanish democratic system, the Cortes Generales represents the Spanish people, exercises legislative power, adopts the state budget, and controls government actions. For comparison, the parliaments of the other options are the Storting (Norway), the Riksdag (Sweden), and the Folketing (Denmark).
