b. by passing new laws without voters consent using procedures such as the referendum

c. by applying the doctrine of concurrent powers in oreder to limit federal authority

d. by setting tax rates and enforcing regulations that reflect citizens' preferences

D. by setting tax rates and enforcing regulations that reflect citizens' preferences

Explanation:

Different bureaucratic bodies, at different levels of government (national, state or provincial, and local), are involved in the implementation of a public policy, each with its own interests, ambitions and traditions. Implementation by public agencies is often a costly, multi-year effort, and continued funding of programs and projects is generally not guaranteed; in reality, it requires negotiations and ongoing discussions between the political and administrative sides of the State

Following this reasoning, state governments can shape public policies by setting tax rates and enforcing regulations that reflect citizens' preferences. The Constitution is the supreme law of the United States, the state government can not replace the laws that are written on it, so the letter A is incorrect. In addition, the state government does not have the power to limit federal authority, nor can it pass laws without the consent of voters, so letters B and C are incorrect.
