Answer 1

It’s NOT b.

The correct answer is the CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE.

They’re the ones who analyze the federal budget to report it to the Appropriations Committee.

Answer 2

The correct answer is b.

The process begins in the Executive Branch the year before the budget enters into force:

• Federal agencies design budget projects and submit them to the Office of Management and Budget of the White House (OMB)

• OMB uses agency projects as it develops the President's budget proposal.
