Question

most people in the united states interact with three different levels of government. the federal government has national authority, and its laws are supreme when different levels of government contradict one another. so, the federal government can preempt state and local laws if they violate federal laws. according to the constitution, the federal government shares power with 50 different state governments. these governments have their own constitutions and have powers to address public needs. state legislatures pass laws about internal issues, and state governors are responsible for enforcing those laws. state governments provide services and collect taxes to pay for them. state governments give power to local governments. there are thousands of local governments in the united states. two of the most common forms are counties and municipalities. local governments make their own laws, which are usually called ordinances. they also provide their own services, one of the most important of which is public education. local taxes are a main source of revenue for public education. options: income, property, sales

Income taxes are more federal/state, sales taxes are state/local but less tied to education funding compared to property taxes. So "property" is the right choice.
