*Answer: (D) ii & iii only*

*Breakdown:*

The *legislative branch* = the lawmakers. Usually Parliament, Congress, National Assembly, etc.

Let's check each function:
1. *(i) executing laws* → That's the *executive branch* - President, Prime Minister, ministers, police. Legislature makes law, executive carries it out.
2. *(ii) approving the annual budget* → Major power of the legislature. "Power of the purse". No government spending without legislative approval.
3. *(iii) formulating laws* → This is the main job. Writing, debating, and passing bills into law.
4. *(iv) enforcing laws* → Also the *executive branch* + judiciary. Police arrest, courts punish. Legislature doesn't enforce.

So only (ii) and (iii) are correct.

*Final pick: (D) ii & iii only*
