Answer
- A because it is its task under the Basic Law
Explanation
Article 7(1) of the Basic Law states: "The entire school system shall be under the supervision of the state." This supervision also applies to private schools, which exist alongside state schools. Pupils do not necessarily have to obtain a school-leaving qualification, but schooling is compulsory.
