B) It would go back to the House for approval.

Explanation:

When the second chamber of the General Assembly approves a bill "as is" - meaning with no changes - it would be sent to the Governor to be signed into law (or vetoed). However, in this case, the original bill was changed some by the Senate and then approved. This being the case, the bill would go back to the House for approval before it could be sent to the governor.
