The term "Imperial President" is a mildly derogatory term.
Imperial usually refers to Britain, which is a Monarchy, albeit a Constitutional Monarchy. An "Imperial President" is one who governs like a Monarch, rather than as a commoner.
Imperial Presidents often consider themselves as being "above the law" and as a result they sometimes commit breaches of the law. The prime example of this is Richard Nixon.

Which action is least likely to be taken by an imperial president A.Defer to Congress on policy disagreements. B.Order troops without congressional authorization. C.Selectively enforce policy?
First, be sure to understand that the phrase, imperial president, is just a figure of speech. All presidents are subject to the law and their power is limited by law. No president can act like an emperor even though his political foes may accuse him of doing that. That said, I say the best answer is C . The imperial president can selectively enforce the laws of Congress thereby effectively changing the law to fit his own opinion. If that is what you mean by "policy", then that is the mark of an imperial president. However, if he selectively enforces his own policy that would mean that he either has not stated his policies precisely or else is someone who changes his mind - hardly imperial. The president can indeed send troops into a foreign country without congressional authorization, but he has to ask Congress for money if they stay any length of time. Congress gives that right to any president in order to deal with emergency situations for which there is not time for Congressional debate. I do not think doing so indicates an imperial president.

Why do people worry about an imperial presidency?
My guess is that the imperial presidency is far down on the list of worries for most Americans. For those few that worry about it, it is likely because they do not like what the president is doing. Since the only way the US can have an imperial president is for the Congress to abdicate its constitutional power , maybe that is what they worry about, That is what I would worry about- a Congress that is afraid to take a stand because they would think it might cost them votes and they are more interested in keeping their job than in solving the country's problems.
