Presley Moyer · Answer 1

The correct answer is They cause the executive branch to influence many aspects of life in the United States

They are independent insofar that they are not organized by the president and work independently of the government, however, they can still be scrutinized by the government and they can be punished if they do something that's bad for the people, their bosses just aren't related to the government and the agencies are organized according to their own necessities.

Cindy Carter · Answer 2

Independent agencies such as the CIA or FCC operate outside of the President's immediate sphere of influence, but still are under executive scrutiny, therefore the answer is that they "cause the executive branch to influence many aspects of life in the United States."
