• A. Decorum in debate
• B. Decorum
• C. Deliberative assembly
• D. Debate

Answer: (A)

Proper conduct during debate is governed by decorum in debate. In parliamentary procedure, decorum refers to respectful, orderly behavior that keeps discussion productive. The specific rules about how members speak—such as not attacking motives and addressing remarks through the chair—are the decorum in debate guidelines. The broader term decorum would cover conduct in general, not the focused context of debate style and procedures. Deliberative assembly describes the body, and debate describes the activity itself, not the conduct rules. So the precise term for these rules is decorum in debate.
