B is the right answer. OMB is the boss when it comes to apportionments, and agencies get to be the budget wizards with their allotments. It's like a game of financial Tetris!

B is the way to go. OMB calls the shots on apportionments, and agencies get to divvy up the funds. Sounds like a well-oiled machine to me!

Okay, I remember learning about this in class. OMB divides up the appropriated funds into quarterly or program-specific portions, and then the agencies further subdivide those funds internally. I feel confident I can get this one right.
