Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A quasi-governmental organization is an organization that is partially funded and overseen by the government but also operates independently. The Federal Reserve Board fits this description because it is overseen by a board of governors who are appointed by the President and approved by the Senate, and it also works closely with other government agencies, but it is not a department of the federal government and has its own independent authority to carry out its responsibilities.

The other options listed are either fully governmental organizations (B and C) or independent agencies (D and E) that are not considered quasi-governmental.
