Answer

The bill is sent to the president.
B
The bill is voted on by all members of Congress.
C
The bill is discussed further in conference.
D
The bill is dropped and goes no further.

Explanation

When the House and Senate pass different versions of a bill, a conference committee meets to work out the disagreements and create a version both chambers can consider. Therefore, the bill is discussed further in conference. It is not sent to the president until both chambers approve the same version.
