All of the given statements are generally true with respect to state attorneys general.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The attorney general (AG) of states has to carry the responsibility for law enforcement and the potential to release new legislation. Their duties involve consumer protections from scams and harmful products, situations and people, guard state's resources by sustaining federal and state environmental laws, intervention in criminal court cases and reconsideration.

In some states, AGs can intercede in local prosecutions while some prefer local prosecutors. AGs can handle all tasks but depend on different divisions within the judicial system, they can get into civil litigation due to limited authority and large litigation like fraud or scam.
