C. The military is allowed to make decisions without the president's approval.

I am leaning more towards A but I don't know.

Answer 1

B is a better example of separation of powers.

Answer 2

Can you explain to me how?

Answer 3

I know that the congress makes the law and the president signs it or passes it. I also think it is A because it is true what they say.

Answer 4

B shows that making the laws involves both the legislative and executive branches of government.

I don't see how A illustrates the separation of powers.
