C. Senate

Explanation:

The Constitution of the United States of America can be amended because the Founding Fathers believed that there might be reason to in order to ensure that the rights and welfare of all Americans are looked after.

Recognizing the impact a Constitutional amendment could make however, they made the process a bit difficult to ensure that the amendment has enough support.

There are two ways to propose an amendment. The first is through Congress where two-thirds of both Houses of Congress would have to vote in favor of the amendment for it to proceed.

The Second is when two-thirds of States ask Congress to form a National Convention which will then Nominate Amendments.  

In the first method, the process of Amendment can begin either in the Senate or the House of Representatives because it will still need a two-thirds vote in either.
