The following should work:

GtkTreeModel *model;
GtkTreeIter iter;

model = gtk_combo_box_get_model (combo_box);
if (gtk_combo_box_get_active_iter (combo_box, &iter)) {
        gchar *str = NULL;
        gtk_tree_model_get (model, &iter, 0, &str, -1);
        
        /* do something with str */

        g_free (str);
}
