Hello there! The scenario which illustrates better the Republican's opinion to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was:

d) Presidents exert informal powers when their policy agenda conflicts with that of Congress.

Explanation:

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is an immigration policy of the U. S. that allows individuals without citizenship eligible to receive a renewable work permit and avoid deportation.

When this program was first implemented by President Obama in 2014, some of the states immediately sued to prevent its expansion. Therefore, the Republican members of Congress opposed this program and, finally blocked by the Supreme Court. Nowadays, President Trump supports the idea to end up with the DACA program.
