The correct answer is "Spends money authorized by Congress".
Based on the information provided, the responsibility that would be placed in the section labeled "B" is "Approves and carries out the laws."
To determine which option belongs in the section labeled "B," we need to analyze the information provided in the graphic.
Based on the information given, Box one in the upper left-hand corner corresponds to the Legislative Branch. It states that the responsibilities of this branch are represented by the letter B.
The options we have are:
- "Coins and prints currency"
- "Approves and carries out the laws"
- "Spends money authorized by Congress"
- "Determines jurisdiction for court cases"
Out of these options, the responsibility that best fits the legislative branch is "Approves and carries out the laws." This is because the legislative branch of the U.S. government is primarily responsible for creating and passing laws.
