The correct answer is C) can veto specific lines.

After a state legislature approves a budget, the power that many governors have over the budget is that the governor can veto specific lines.

After a Budget bill is created in the lower chamber, it passes to the Senate, to be debated. Then a final decision is reached by both houses of the state Congress. Once this happens, the Budget is sent to the governor. It has the option of signing the bill, veto the entire bill, or what happens more frequently is that it signs it with a line-item veto, so the governor can exert its power. Then, the Budget returns to Congress until it is approved by two-thirds of the legislators.
