Solution
The correct option is C return it for reconsideration. When a bill has been passed by both houses following the described process, it is sent to the President for his approval per Article 111.
The President can assent or withhold his assent to a bill or he can return a bill, other than a money bill which is recommended by the President himself to the houses.
