Which is described as the Big dog of a GA Airport?

Explanation:
At a general aviation airport, the Fixed-Base Operator is the main on-site service provider. The FBO typically owns or leases the terminal and delivers the essential services pilots rely on—fueling, hangar or tie-down space, maintenance, ground handling, and pilot amenities. Because it controls these day-to-day operations and facilities, the FBO is the dominant presence on the field. Airlines operate at larger commercial airports, not typically at GA fields. TSA handles security, and while the FAA regulates aviation, it doesn’t run airport operations on the field, so they aren’t the primary “big dog” in a GA airport.
