B. conduct the state's business.
In the United States government, the executive branch is responsible for enforcing and executing the laws created by the legislative branch. The President leads the executive branch at the federal level, and governors do so at the state level. Their role includes managing the operations of the government, implementing laws, and conducting state or national business, which involves diplomatic relations, defense, and trade. The executive branch does not control the legislature (that's the principle of separation of powers), decide whether laws are constitutional (that's the role of the judiciary), or settle disputes in a court of law (that is, again, a function of the judicial branch).
