Question

what are examples of consumer protection activities?
a. product recalls
b. truth in advertising enforcement
c. tax collection
d. licensing electricians
e. safety inspections

Explanation:

• Product recalls: When a product is found to be defective or unsafe, recalling it protects consumers from potential harm.
• Truth in advertising enforcement: Ensures that advertisements are not false or misleading, so consumers make informed choices.
• Safety inspections: Regular checks on products (e.g., food, machinery) or services (e.g., construction sites) help identify and rectify safety issues before they affect consumers.

Tax collection (C) is mainly about government revenue, not directly consumer protection. Licensing electricians (D) is a professional regulation (ensuring competence) but not a direct consumer - protection activity like the others.

Answer:

A. Product recalls, B. Truth in advertising enforcement, E. Safety inspections
