Solution

The correct option is B Federal government
In a federal form of government the powers are divided between the national government and the regional governments by the Constitution itself. Both the centre and the state have their own powers and systems of governance. The federal system is thus ‘decentralised’, meaning that there is a dispersion or distribution of functions.
