The correct answer is C. An independent regulatory agency is a department that functions mostly without executive or legislative control.

Explanation:

An independent regulatory agency is an office of the federal government in charge of controlling the development of a specific activity within the federal government itself or in the social sphere at the federal level that does not depend on any structure within the government, neither the executive branch nor the legislative branch. In this way, it is guaranteed that its function as controller is exercised without pressure of any kind by the politicians on duty, in addition to giving it a greater margin of action since it does not require authorizations or special bureaucratic processes. An example of this type of agency is the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
