The roles of Georgia's governor and lieutenant governor are distinguished by the governor proposing the state budget and having a term limit of 8 consecutive years, whereas the lieutenant governor can serve unlimited terms and presides over the senate. The two statements are (B).The governor may serve 8 years consecutively while the lieutenant governor can serve unlimited terms and (C).The governor proposes the budget, while the lieutenant governor is the president of the senate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two statements that distinguish the role of Georgia's governor from its lieutenant governor are:

1. The governor may serve only 8 years consecutively while the lieutenant governor can serve as many times as they are elected. This means that the governor is limited to two consecutive terms, while the lieutenant governor can be re-elected without term limits.
2. The governor proposes the new budget to the General Assembly while the lieutenant governor is the president of the senate. This means that the governor has the responsibility of presenting and recommending the state budget, while the lieutenant governor presides over the Senate.
