all power belongs to the federal government unless the constitution says something is illegal.
states do not have any powers beyond what the federal government gives to them.
the state governments only have the powers that the constitution specifically assigns them.

Explanation:

The Tenth Amendment states that powers not given to the federal government (by the Constitution) and not prohibited to the states are reserved for the states or the people. This means state governments have certain powers that the federal government does not. For example, if a power isn't delegated to the federal government (like some aspects of local education policy - not a power delegated to the federal government in the Constitution), and it's not prohibited for states to have that power, then the state can have that power. The other options are incorrect. The option “All power belongs to the federal government unless the Constitution says something is illegal” goes against the text which reserves powers. “States do not have any powers beyond what the federal government gives to them” is wrong as the amendment implies states have reserved powers. “The state governments only have the powers that the Constitution specifically assigns them” is incorrect because the amendment says powers not delegated (assigned) to the federal government (and not prohibited) are reserved, so it's not about the Constitution specifically assigning powers to states in this context.

Answer:

State governments have some powers that the federal government does not have.
