These are the options for the question:

A) Committed Fund Balance

B) Assigned Fund Balance

C) Restricted Fund Balance

D) Nonspendable Fund Balance

And the correct answer is:

B) Assigned Fund Balance

Explanation:

Assigned Fund Balance is the cateogry of the government fund that is intended to be used in something specific, as determined by the respective legislative or executive authority.

In this case, the city council has already assigned a total of $22,000 for the construction of the botanical garden, and after $3,000 have been spent, it needs to keep the remaining $19,000 in the Assigned Fund Balance category.
