All of the following statements about state governments are true except:

b.

c.

d.

The correct answer is option C. "State governments rely on local governments to implement state programs". Among the different programs that the government of United States offers, there are Natonal, State and Local programs. The State programs are independent of Local government, therefore they could be implemented independently of what is stated among the Local governments of the State.
