At first I thought the provided answer (D) was wrong and took B to be the correct answer, until I read with extreme carefulness. Pls always note every single word used. In the above question, we have key words to be "...lowest levels of government..." and we know the 3 levels of government are Federal, State and Local government, with Local government as the lowest.
Therefore, transfer of powers to LG is decentralization of government.
D is correct
Decentralisation is the process of transferring authority from the Supreme and state levels to the local level. The process of distributing functions and power away from a central place or authority is known as decentralisation.
D should be the answer since it's through constitutionnal process , devolution is when the president create some units and delegate power to them and the unit can be dissolved at will .
can someone create a clear distinction between a
decentralization, devolution and deconcentration
The answer is B.... Devolution is the creation of semi autonomous units to govern other parts of a state
