Detailed Solution

1)      Decentralisation is a political process in which administrative authority, public resources, and duties are shifted from central government agencies to lower-level government units. State governments must share part of their authority and revenue with local governments.
2)      The fundamental principle supporting Decentralisation is that many problems and difficulties are better resolved at the local level.
3)      However, Decentralisation is not the only form of government to solve all problems and issues at the local level. Therefore, option 2 is correct.
