Answer:

B) General Fund and Library Fund

Step-by-step explanation:

Major funds are those that include revenues, assets, expenditures and liabilities that account for at least 10% of all the government funds.

In this case the total government funds = $26,300,000

so 10% of total funds = $26,300,000 x 10% = $2,630,000

only the general fund ($18,400,000 ≥ $2,630,000) and the library fund (2,900,000 ≥ $2,630,000) are higher than the 10% threshold.
