AThe state governments
BThe federal government
CThe county governments
DThe city governments
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. The federal government
1. Centralization shows up in powers that belong to one level of government alone.
2. Printing money is reserved to the federal government; no state or local government may do it.
3. States handle matters such as elections and schools instead, so the three lower-level options fail.
