The correct answer is A) Presidential Policy Directive-21: Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience.

And C) Executive Order 13636: Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity.

Explanation:

Both these, the Presidential Policy and the Executive order were issued on the 12th of February 2013 in order to great a stronger security policy for both online and offline infrastructure of the country.

During President Obama's tenure, it was evident that many countries had been able to hack into the government's databases. What were first seen as one off events became increasingly common. In the modern world cyber security is interlinked with everything else and there was a need to strengthen the United States's infrastructure security from foreign intervention.
