The city of Galveston adopt the commission system of government because city government was unable to handle recovery efforts after a hurricane.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

The commission system of government consists of a legislative body which takes the responsibility of imposing and collecting taxes. Apart from this there are commissioners assigned for roles like public works and safety.

This was done to ensure a mix of legislative and executive mix of governance. This originated in Galveston, Texas after the hurricane in 1900. Before implementing this system, it was first tested and later implemented. This was followed by other cities taking up this system.
