The correct answer here is the last option.

After the bill is developed and written and introduced in the house it is then referred to a committee for markup that is inspection and potential changes. After that there are several steps including amending it by the committee, the committee voting on if the bill can sent to on and after few more steps the bill can be considered on the House Floor.
