Explanation:

Question 1

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: The Legislative Branch (Congress) creates laws/policies, and legislators (not candidates) vote on them. So this is incorrect.
• Option 2: Political parties develop policy platforms, and their candidates adopt these positions, including on immigration. This is a correct description of how party - based policy formation works for immigration (and other policies).
• Option 3: Immigration policies are not only created by the President. Congress also has a major role in legislation related to immigration. So this is incorrect.
• Option 4: The Department of Homeland Security enforces immigration policies, not primarily create them. Policy creation is more in the realm of the legislative and executive (President, with input from agencies but not solely DHS) branches. So this is incorrect.

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: DACA did not grant citizenship to all undocumented immigrants. It was focused on a specific group (children brought to the US illegally as minors). So this is incorrect.
• Option 2: DACA was meant to provide some relief and opportunities (like work permits, access to education in some cases) to DREAMers, not restrict immigration or close educational opportunities. So this is incorrect.
• Option 3: DACA provided a temporary reprieve from deportation and work permits (a pathway - like measure, though not full citizenship) for children who were brought to the US illegally. This matches the purpose of DACA.

Answer:

B. Political parties form policies that their candidates adopt
