Which description best captures the government's role in this arrangement within social governance?

The government is the primary provider and enabler of social welfare, using its budget and departments, while the trust supports it as a partner in awareness. Governments both deliver and regulate, so they are not limited to a regulatory role, and the State remains the main duty-bearer.

  2. BThe government acts only as a regulator and must stay away from delivering services
