Explanation

Regulations (B) are official interpretations and rules written by regulatory agencies to clarify and implement laws passed by a legislature - they carry legal force and fill in the operational details that statutes leave vague.

Joint Conference (A) refers to a committee meeting between two legislative bodies (like the House and Senate) to reconcile differences in a bill - it's a lawmaking process step, not an interpretation tool.

Licenses (C) are permits granted to individuals or entities authorizing them to perform a specific activity - they are an outcome of regulatory authority, not an interpretation of law.

Memory tip: Think "Reg = Rules Explained by the Government." Regulatory agencies regulate by writing regulations that explain how a law applies in practice - the word root itself gives it away.
