While private funding for a campaign may come from a variety of sources, which source provides public funding for a campaign?

A. wealthy donors

B. government

C. foreign countries

D. labor unions

The right answer is B. government.

Public funding campaigns mean that instead of having private owners and corporations donating, we would expect the government responsible for funding the campaign. Public campaign funding programs have been successful in diversifying the donor base of candidates in terms of class and race, while private funding enabled wealthy individuals and corporations to have an outsized influence in our political system by allowing them to pour unlimited amounts of money into elections.

B.) Government

When valid candidates make a run for the elections they are given public funds by the government to cover expenses on the campaign.
