The correct response is:

The federal system splits powers, but the unitary system gives most powers to the central government.

In a federal system, authority is divided between a central government and various regional governments (states or provinces), allowing for a distribution of powers. In contrast, a unitary system centralizes authority in a single central government, which can create or abolish local governments and retain most decision-making powers.
