If a bureaucratic agency goes too far away from what elected politicians (such as Congress and the president) want:
  1. The president can disband it.
  2. Congress can provide executive orders to fix the problem.
  3. The president will pass laws invalidating certain practices.
  4. The Congress will pass laws invalidating certain practices.
  5. There is nothing the president or Congress can do about it.
Explanation
Answer: D - If a bureaucratic agency goes too far away from what elected politicians want, the Congress will pass laws invalidating certain practices. Since Congress creates and sets the parameters for what a bureaucracy does, Congress can also change the parameters. Congress could also disband the agency. As long as the practices of the bureaucracies are not specifically designated by Congress, the president can also issue executive orders to change bureaucratic activity.
