The right choice is:

b. The president changes a regulation on undocumented

immigrant status without congressional approval.

Explanation:

The president can approve or order changes in the regulations about undocumented immigrants, as it is a function of the executive branch to enforce immigration laws. We have seen many recent examples in the Obama and the Trump administrations in the US. Nevertheless, some activists don't agree with the changes and they have challenged many new regulations in courts.
