When different versions of the House and Senate bills are passed, a Joint Conference Committee is formed to reconcile the differences and produce a final version of the bill that both the House and Senate can agree on. This final version is then voted on by both chambers of Congress before being sent to the President of the U.S. for approval. Therefore, option C is the best choice.
