None of the options accurately describes a unitary system. In a unitary system, all powers are held by the central or national government, and the subnational entities (such as states or provinces) have limited powers that are granted to them by the national government. Therefore, the correct response would be: The national government holds all the powers, but can grant some to the subnational entities.
The correct answer is:
Both state and national governments make laws for their citizens.
