Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": Houston.

Step-by-step explanation:

A city council government is a type of governance management constituted by a chief executive officer (mayor) and a legislative body (the city council). Both entities work towards enforcing legislation and keeping a balanced budget. Though the relationship working method may vary if the city council is "strong" or "weak". In the strong city council, the mayor is not part of the city council but has more power to act individually. On the other hand, in the weak city council, the mayor is part of the city council but has limited power.

Houston (Texas) is one of the cities in the U.S. that has a strong city council type of government.
