The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is an independent regulatory agency. As such, the FTC is subject to less executive authority than executive agencies.

Option aExplanation:

The Federal Trade Commission is majorly concerned only the trade and commerce operations and does not have executive powers in the other public domains. It is an agency of the "U. S government" to "protect consumers and strong competitive market" by forcing consumer protection and laws.

The commission exercises authority at both the central and the state levels by overseeing the legitimacy of the trading operations. The commission also functions to maintain ties that serve the relations between the government and the corporate sector players.
