The correct response is Option A: Enforcing Laws.  

Explanation:

Policy implementation can be defined as the process involved in transforming a policy idea into concrete actions and setting out a plan for achieving results. It involves a number of closely related steps to assure that each policy is executed properly. Legislators need to write new regulations when setting up new programs. They also need to enforce the laws and determine the executive branch's responsibilities in policy implementation.  In public policy making lawmakers first need to recognize a problem or issue and consider the different possible courses of action. Policies will be implemented by agency personnel and also evaluated for effectiveness, changed if necessary, and their success at dealing with the issue or problem will also be measured.
