    Solution

    The doctrine of separation of powers divides government functions among three distinct organs: Legislative - Makes laws. Executive - Implements laws. Judiciary - Interprets laws. Its primary goal is to prevent the concentration of power and maintain a system of checks and balances for democratic governance. Other options misinterpret or overextend the doctrine's purpose.
