a. city manager form
b. mayor - council form
c. board of supervisors form
d. commission form

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the city government forms:

• The mayor - council form is common in older cities in the US, especially cities like Boston, New Haven, and Providence which are among the older cities in the Northeast.
• The city manager form is more common in newer or reform - oriented cities.
• The board of supervisors form is typically used in counties rather than cities.
• The commission form is less common and was more of a reform movement - type form, not typical of these older cities.

Answer:

B. Mayor - council form
