The correct answer would be C. State governments, using the USA as the basis, have jurisdiction and are responsible for its territories but are a part of the USA and are not legally recognized on the international level and don’t have same status as for example Germany. They share the organizational structure with the federal government. So, they have executive, judicial and legislative branches in accordance with the principle of checks and balances. Also following that principle, the executive power is split between the Governor and other state administrators like attorney general, secretary of state and so on.
