Local governments must receive state approval for changing laws.
C
Border changes can be completed with citizen approval.

Explanation

Georgia’s home rule authority lets local governments adopt or amend local laws on local matters, so statement A is correct. Local government boundary changes can also be made through procedures that require approval from affected citizens, making C correct. Local governments still must follow the state constitution, and they cannot change federal laws; state approval is not required for every local law change.
