Answer 1

Answer: the answer is c ( Member introduces a bill; conference committee version is approved; one chamber takes floor action)

Explanation:

The stages of how a bill becomes a law has some steps in which it takes

Firstly, a member of the house will have to introduce the bill i.e a legislation. If any senator objects the legislation is postponed to the next day.

Secondly, - The bill is referred to the appropriate committee by the Speaker of the House or the presiding officer in the Senate. Most often, the actual referral decision is made by the House or Senate parliamentarian. Bills may be referred to more than one committee and can be split and sent to different committees. The Speaker of the House may set time limits on committees.Failure to act on a bill is equivalent to killing it.

Then thirdly is the floor action, the bill is placed on a calendar and is then debated which later then voting on the bill is done. f passed, it is then sent to the other chamber unless that chamber already has a similar measure under consideration. If either chamber does not pass the bill then it dies. If the House and Senate pass the same bill then it is sent to the President

The conference committee acts on the bill which is then forwarded to the President for review, once the president signs it ,the bill becomes a law
