  3. The President’s family members who the President knows he can trust.
  4. The leading opponents to the President on policy issues.
  5. The heads of the various major bureaucracies.
Explanation
Answer: E - Technically, the members of the Cabinet are the heads of each of the major bureaucratic agencies. So the Secretary of State is the head of the State Department, the Secretary of Defense is the head of the Defense Department, etc. Sometimes these Cabinet members serve as important advisors to the president, but more often the president chooses his own advisors-ones that don’t need to be confirmed by the Senate.
