Answer: A

Both mayor-council system and council-manager system is similar in a way that it is responsible for making laws and policies for the benefit of its constituent. The important task of the council-manager system is to hire and monitor a professional city manager.

Meanwhile, the mayor may not necessarily have the educational degree to run the city government but he must have at least the skill to execute the laws that was passed by the council. However, council-manager are expected to have a college degree in public administration so he/she may understand and run a city government.
