Answer:

D. Commissioners are hired to run city departments based on previous

experience.

Step-by-step explanation:

City Commission is a form of municipal government in which the officials that are elected serve on a commission(Governing Board) and carries out both the legislative and executive functions. The number of members are limited but the members are elected at-large basis. Each commissioner is responsible for a particular department. This form of government is also called as Galveston plan, it originated in 1901 in Texas. This form of government has became obsolete and only one percent of the cities in the USA use this form of government.
