B) It keeps any one branch of government from becoming too powerful

Explanation:

A system of checks and balances is used to regulate power. It is used to make sure a part of government doesn't have too much power. In a democratic government, it helps make sure the president doesn't have too much power over everyone. An example of this would be if the president said they wanted to do something or make a law, but the house of representatives and the Senate must agree to it. The president can't just make a new law without the permission of the rest of the government.
