Hint:The Indian Parliament enacts with the utilization of administrative acts. The bill becomes an act when the nominal head of the parliament gives his assent to it. The person holding that post is also known as the Head of State or the First Citizen of India.

Complete answer:
-These demonstrations are brought into the Indian Constitution simply after the draft bills are passed by the parliament. There are different sorts of bills that are presented in one or the other place of the Parliament to establish a law.
Let us review the options and discuss the answer.
Option A. Passed in both houses.
-Money bill and Financial bill can be passed only in Lok Sabha whereas Constitutional Amendment Bill and Ordinary Bill can be passed in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. The role of both the houses is to introduce, review, accept or reject bills and it has no power to give assent to it. Thus, it is an incorrect option.
Option B. A bill is the draft of an authoritative proposition, which when passed by the two houses of Parliament and consented to by the President, turns into an Act of Parliament.
-At the point when a bill has been passed, it is shipped off to the President for his endorsement per Article 111. The President can consent or retain his consent to the bill or he can restore a bill, other than a cash charge which is prescribed by the president himself to the Houses.
 -In the event that the President gives his consent, the bill is distributed in The Gazette of India and turns into an Act from the date of his consent.
Hence, it is the correct option.
Option C. The Supreme Court has no authority over the passing of the bill or its acceptance. It does not involve itself with the activities of the parliament. Thus, it is an incorrect option.
Option D. The Prime Minister has no power to give his assent for the bill. He will be present as a member of the Lok Sabha when a bill is introduced or for the reading of it and cast his vote for or against it. Thus, it is an incorrect option.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B.

Note: -The president may viably retain his consent according to his own caution, which is known as a pocket veto. The pocket veto has been practiced once by President Zail Singh in 1986, over the postal demonstration where the public authority needed to open postal letters without warrant by changing the Indian Post Office Act, 1898.
-The President cannot retain the constitutional amendment bill appropriately passed by Parliament per Article 368.
