Environmental Protection Agency protects the environment from pollution and other harmful activities that could happen to the environment.

• A. Trade Secrets
• B. Risk
• C. FDA
• D. EPA

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is identifying the organization responsible for protecting the environment in the United States. The Environmental Protection Agency is the government agency dedicated to safeguarding the environment from pollution and other harmful activities. It creates and enforces environmental laws, monitors pollution levels, and runs programs to reduce environmental harm and protect public health. The other terms don’t fit this role: Trade secrets are confidential business information, risk is a general concept, and the FDA regulates foods, drugs, and cosmetics—not environmental protection.
