The best option that describes the relationship between state and county government is unitary. In a unitary system, the central government holds the primary authority, and any administrative divisions, such as counties, derive their powers from the central authority. In the context of the U.S., while states have their own governments and can grant powers to counties, they ultimately operate under the framework established by state constitutions and laws.
