c. authority to fire bureaucrats for not executing policy passed by Congress
d. power to find agency actions unconstitutional
e. authority to extend or limit appropriations

Answer 1

"Authority to extend or limit appropriations " is the main power of the congress.

Option: e

Step-by-step explanation:

The constitution has no say in administrative agencies. The Supreme Court recognizes the Congress to use its power to control and shape the federal bureaucracy using Article I law making powers. By using this Article, the Congress has the powers to form individual offices as well as federal agencies, within which the Congress can design, change and limit its operations, and basic structures. This Article also gives them the power to appoint and remove the holding agency offices.
