What are the three branches of government?

  1. Administrative, Operative, Procedural

  2. Executive, Legislative, Judicial

  3. Federal, Provincial, Municipal

  4. Central, Regional, Local

The correct answer is: Executive, Legislative, Judicial

The three branches of government are Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. These branches are established in order to separate the powers of the government to prevent any one branch from gaining too much control. The options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the three branches of government. Option A includes terms that are not associated with branches of government, option C includes different levels of government, and option D uses similar terms to option C.
