Which agency is NOT considered an executive agency?

CIA
FBI
Supreme Court
Nasa

The correct answer is: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court is the correct answer because it is not an executive agency; rather, it is part of the judicial branch of government. The role of the Supreme Court is to interpret laws and administer justice in accordance with the Constitution. It does not engage in the executive functions that agencies like the CIA, FBI, and NASA perform. The CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), and NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) are all executive agencies that operate under the authority of the President of the United States. These agencies carry out various responsibilities in national security, law enforcement, and scientific exploration, reflecting the functions of the executive branch. Thus, the distinction becomes clear as the Supreme Court, being part of the judiciary, does not fit the classification of an executive agency.
