C.
The governor proposes the budget, which the state legislature may then modify.
D.

Is it D?

So its A then?

No, option D is not the correct statement. The correct answer is option C: The governor proposes the budget, which the state legislature may then modify.

To arrive at this answer, you can understand the roles and responsibilities of the governor and the state legislature in the budget-making process.

In most states, the governor plays a vital role in crafting and proposing the state budget. The governor typically prepares and presents a budget proposal to the state legislature. This proposal outlines the governor's priorities, spending plans, and revenue projections for the upcoming fiscal year.

Once the governor presents the budget proposal, it then goes to the state legislature for review and possible modifications. This is where option C comes into play. The state legislature has the authority to make changes to the budget proposal, including allocating funds to different areas or adjusting spending levels.

After the state legislature modifies the budget proposal, it is typically voted on and passed. At this point, the governor has the power to either sign the budget into law or veto it. If the governor signs the budget, it becomes law and goes into effect. If the governor vetoes the budget, it goes back to the legislature for further consideration and potential modifications.

Therefore, the governor's role is not limited to just signing or vetoing the state budget. They have an active part in proposing the budget, which can be modified by the state legislature.

Nope.
