Answer:

A. Executive Power

Step-by-step explanation:

A president can be defined as an individual who is duly elected by the electorates and as such is the head of the country in a democratic government. The president is empowered by the constitution to sign (veto) legislations, adjourn or convene the legislative body (Congress), grant state pardons and reprieve to citizens, command the armed forces, and welcome ambassadors representing other countries.

In the United States of America, the president has various powers granted by Acts of Congress and Article II of the U.S constitution such as Ordinance power, Appointment power, Implied power, Executive power etc.

An executive order, essentially a direct law from the President, is allowed to be granted due to executive power.

Hence, by virtue of an executive power, the president is empowered to issue an executive order such as a decree, instructions, regulations and rules in order to successfully manage the affairs of the country and good governance.
