Which comparison would best support the idea presented in this paragraph?

federalism in america has revealed itself in two primary ways: dual federalism and cooperative federalism. in dual federalism, federal and state governments are seen as separate and equally influential legislative entities. by contrast, in cooperative federalism, local, state, and federal governments work together to solve common problems.

a. federalism is like the ancient foundation of a beautiful home. even though it might be composed of a variety of materials, it stands the test of time and holds up the house we call democracy.
b. american federalism acts like a pride of lions. one dominant make holds power over each animal in the group. any animal that wants to take control of the pride must be prepared to fight to the death.
c. these dual aspects of federalism are similar to a league of sports trams. many different units, some with more resources than others, fight each other under the watchful eye of a much more powerful entity, the league.
d. think about houses in a village, in one sense, each household has its own rules, separate from those of the village. in another sense, though, these households join together in a crisis and act as one.
