Correct answer is B

Legislation (or " statutory law ") is law which has been promulgated (or " enacted ") by a legislature or other governing body or the process of making it. Before an item of legislation becomes law it may be known as a bill, and may be broadly referred to as "legislation", while it remains under consideration to distinguish it from other business.
