Which description of the constitutional amendment process is most accurate?

The process, which is highly secretive, requires the president to propose an amendment to Congress, after which House and Senate members debate its merits in private and then vote on it in groups known as conclaves.

The process, which is deceptively simple, requires that an amendment be proposed in the Senate, passed by a two-thirds majority in the House of Representatives, and by simple majority of the states.

The process, which is intentionally difficult, requires that an amendment be proposed and approved by two-thirds of Congress or two-thirds of state legislatures and then be ratified by three-fourths of the states.

The process, which is rather unusual, allows special-interest groups and individual members of the public to propose amendments and lobby Congress to vote to send it to the president, who will then ratify it or reject it with a veto.
