D
A proposal needs to win two-thirds of the vote in the Supreme Court.

Explanation

The usual first step is for Congress to propose an amendment. It must receive a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Supreme Court does not vote on proposing constitutional amendments, and approval by only one chamber is not enough.
