Answer 1

I believe the answer is: C. None of the cabinet agencies deal with the issues it addresses.

When this happen, the need to hire new workers with completely different skill set would arise. In this situation, it would be best to create an independent executive agencies so the current check and balance system would not be disturbed.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C) None of the cabinet agencies deal with the issues it addresses.

An acceptable reason for a new federal bureaucratic organization to be created as an independent executive agency is "None of the cabinet agencies deal with the issues it addresses."

In the United States, an independent agency is the one that is created outside the traditional federal departments of government that are part of the Cabinet of the President. Although they somehow report to the President, they do not depend on the President precisely to have that independence of operation that serves the nation.

Examples of independent agencies are the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
