The best description of how the government enables government monopolies to exist is **by allowing natural monopolies to exist**.
Natural monopolies typically occur in industries where the cost of providing a good or service is minimized by having a single provider, often due to high fixed costs or infrastructure limitations. The government may regulate these monopolies to ensure they operate in the public interest rather than creating a competitive environment that could lead to inefficiencies.
