Accountability refers to the obligation to account for and justify one's actions to someone else, in this case, the public. Oversight refers to the supervision or monitoring of activities, but accountability includes the idea of being answerable to someone for those activities. Responsibility refers to being responsible for a task or duty, and authority refers to the power or right to make decisions and enforce laws. B is the best choice because it specifically relates to the idea of being answerable to the public.
