b.) globalization
c.) devolution
d.) implementation

Answer 1

The answer is C) devolution

Answer 2

The correct answer is C.

Devolution refers to the delegation of certain powers which are in hand of a federal goverment, which are returned to the state and local goverments (to inferior goverment levels). Such goverment units which acquired the delegated powers are subsequently entitled to govern at a subnational level and to issue legislation relevant to the region.
