Answer:

(C) The state law would supersede the local antismoking ordinances, which contain stronger bans than the state law does.

Explanation:

State laws have more authority than local laws. For this reason, when a statuary law is sanctioned, it must replace existing local laws for the same subject. It is at this point that we can observe what the problem with the petition shown in the above question may be, making this petition circulating misleading to some readers.

Many cities, counties, and others have local smocking restriction laws that are much broader than the state law the petition wants to be sanctioned. Some people do not understand the relationship between state and local laws and will think this state law will help local smocking restriction law, when in fact state law will replace it.
