The correct option is option D.

Explanation:

After debate, the congress agrees to appropriate a determined amount of funds to a specific department, so it can makes expenses in the account of the Treasury.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) makes sure that the funds are being used effectively, and also prepares the president's budget for the congress, among other critical functions.
