Explanation:

The excerpt from Upton Sinclair's The Jungle (1906) exposed unsanitary and unsafe practices in the food industry. The public outcry led to the establishment of regulations related to food safety, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) - or its precursor - was involved in enforcing such regulations. The other options (Centers for Disease Control, Department of Commerce, Institution of Education Sciences) are not related to food safety regulation in response to this type of exposure.

Answer:

Food and Drug Administration
