B: powers and duties of the United States government are divided among three branches of the government.
The idea of separation of powers means the duties of a government are divided among different parts of the government. The goal of this system is to prevent an absolute power in the government in control of all aspects of the society.
In the US system, a separation of powers exists between the three branches of the federal government. The Executive Branch is the president and their staff including the Cabinet.
