Answer 1

The correct answer is:

B. X represents shared powers of both federal and state governments; Y represents delegated powers of the federal government.

This is because the powers to run elections and create public schools are typically shared between state and federal governments, while the powers to declare war, make treaties, and print money are specific to the federal government.
