question 2 of 10: why do federal regulatory agencies exist?
a) enforce laws that protect consumers
b) enforce laws to protect businesses
c) create laws that prevent conflict
d) protect employees from consumers

Explanation:

Federal regulatory agencies are established to ensure that consumers are safeguarded. They enforce laws related to product safety, fair business practices, etc. For example, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) ensures food and drug safety for consumers. Option b is incorrect as their main focus is consumer protection over just business protection. Option c is wrong because they enforce laws, not create them (legislative bodies create laws). Option d is not a valid reason as their role is not about protecting employees from consumers.

Answer:

A. enforce laws that protect consumers
