B

Explanation:

After being officially proposed, either by Congress or a national convention of the states, a constitutional amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths (38 out of 50) of the states ... Amendments ratified by the states under either procedure are indistinguishable and have equal validity as part of the Constitution.
