Option B

Explanation:

Compared to the state government or the central government, the local government has less roles and responsibilities to exercise, but they come in direct contact with the public.

Their governance has a direct impact on their day to day lives and hence they have a vital role to play in the governance of the country. The state government is further divided into county, township and municipal governments. The states have autonomy such that some laws might differ between each other.

every society, in order to meet the needs of it's people, has to answer three basic questions:

- what should we produce?

- how should we produce it?

- for whom should we produce it?

this questions must be answered in order to, option b, aid in production decisions.

every country can't produce everything, no matter how rich their land is. it may be a matter of technology, resources or geographical conditions. so, these three questions must be resolved in order to get the most of the production of each land.

hope this !
