I think it might be answer A
There are three main structural branches of the United States government. The executive branch, consisting of the president and his agencies and office, the legislative branch, which is the congress, and the Judicial branch which consists of all the courts and the supreme court at the top. They balance each other's powers out and build the US government.
Historically, there were three highly important documents when it came to the government. Articles of confederation, which established something like the first form of government that existed, then the US constitution, which is still used today and established how the government will actually work, and the Bill of rights, which was a set of amendments that established personal rights and freedoms.
The guiding principles of the US government are establishing democratic rule and peaceful transitions of government officials, while enabling free market economy and protecting people's rights which are mentioned in the declaration of independence as the unalienable ones, the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Think about the idea here and you'll see how the idea of "cost" is inevitable in every decision. (It's true not just of governments, but of our own decisions too -- but we'll focus on governments here.)
Let's say the government decides it wants all citizens to have access to health care. Well, that's going to cost dollars to pay for that health care. Where will those dollars come from?
Let's say the government decides, in response to school shootings or other acts of gun violence, to ban certain types of guns or ammunition. That costs something to the gun dealers who were making money off those sales (and they'll object). Or let's say the government decides to do further and deeper background checks on all gun buyers. Well, that will cost something in terms of personnel and processes to accomplish all the background checks. Or let's say the government decides to increase mental health screenings and treatment because persons with mental illness issues may become violent and dangerous to society. That will cost much in order to organize and carry out better mental health intervention across the country.
I focused on just a couple issues there (health care, gun control). But the same principle holds on anything government does. You can think about your own examples that you'd want to use. Anything the government decides to do comes with some sort of costs attached. That doesn't mean it's bad to make such decisions -- it just means we need to count the cost and invest our efforts where they will have the best benefit.
