Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The CEOs should deal with the judiciary branch to challenge the fine as it is the branch responsible for interpreting and upholding the laws. The legislature branch creates the laws and the executive branch enforces them, but it is the judiciary branch that can overturn the decision and revoke the fine if they find that the mining company did not break any laws or if they find the laws to be unconstitutional. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Option A, C, and D are not the correct branches for the CEOs to deal with in this situation.
