Only the federal government can sign treaties.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

The answer is: c.the power to sign treaties

Treaties refer to the a binding agreement made with another country. Treaties would affect the nation as a whole, not only one state. Due to the magnitude of the effect, the power to make treaties fall within the jurisdiction of the federal government, and the state government is limited to regulate everything that happen on its own state.
