Answer 1

only b

Explanation:

Obligatory (essential) functions of the government are those which must be performed for the proper functioning of the state. Maintaining internal law and order is a primary and compulsory duty of the government. The provision of employment, welfare measures, and the export of goods are developmental or optional functions, not obligatory ones.
