The correct answer is 4[D]: The heads of executive departments can be fired at the will of the president, while the heads of regulatory agencies can't be fired during their terms except for extreme misconduct.
This answer correctly compares the vulnerability of heads of executive departments and heads of regulatory agencies. The heads of executive departments serve at the pleasure of the president and can be fired at the president's will. On the other hand, the heads of regulatory agencies have a certain level of independence and can't be fired during their terms except for extreme cases of misconduct. This difference in vulnerability reflects the varying levels of autonomy and insulation from political influence that these two types of agencies have.
