A and D are the same.

sorry, A. should have been federal;federal

You are correct that education and public safety functions are typically funded by the states. However, in this case, we are looking for the temporary funding that was included in the stimulus bill supported by President Obama. To determine the answer, we need to understand the concept of cooperative federalism and the division of powers between the federal government and the states.

Cooperative federalism refers to a system where the federal government and the states work together, sharing responsibilities and resources, to address national issues. In this system, the federal government provides financial assistance to states to support various programs and functions.

Based on this understanding, we can infer that the shift toward cooperative federalism, as evidenced by President Obama's support of the stimulus bill, means that the federal government provided temporary funding for state functions such as education and public safety. Therefore, the correct answer is D. federal;state
