Which of the following is an example of an independent executive agency?

The Department of Defense
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration
The Federal Trade Commission
The US Postal Service
The Executive Office of the President

Explanation

Answer: B- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is an independent executive agency. An independent executive agency is basically a government entity that is not a Cabinet department, regulatory commission, or government corporation. (Seriously, that’s how the US government defines them-you can check the US Government Manual if you don’t believe it.) An independent executive agency, as the name implies, is independent of any other bureaucratic agency. NASA is not answerable to any other bureaucratic agency, including the military.
