The correct option is "providing a State of the Union address"
The State of the Union Address is an annual event in the United States of America. The speech consists of a report that the President of the United States gives to Congress about the state of the country. The speech is also used for the president to present his legislative proposals for the year. It has always been presented in January of each year, and only on seven occasions was it in February.
Modeled after the speech of the throne during the opening ceremony of the parliament in the United Kingdom, the report is established by the Constitution, although it does not require that it be presented annually.
A directly stated consitutional requirement in the US constitution in Article 2 Section 3 is that the President must give to Congress recommendations regarding the State of the Union and recommend any actions that are considered essential and expedient.
