Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The legislative branch is responsible for creating and modifying laws. Therefore, the most effective action would be to turn to the legislative branch and request a new law in the specific area that needs modification. The executive branch enforces the existing laws, and the judicial branch interprets the laws in cases brought before them. Asking the executive branch not to enforce the existing law or requesting a new law in this area from the judicial branch would not be effective.
