Question

the clean food act and meat inspection act were passed into laws because:
a farmers were concerned about the health of their animals
b cars and tractors took the place of horses for transportation
c scientists realized that animal diseases were affecting people
d veterinary specialists wanted to focus on small animals

Explanation:

The Clean Food Act and Meat Inspection Act were passed to ensure food safety. Scientists realized that animal - related issues (like animal diseases) could impact human health. Option A focuses on animal health from a farmer's perspective (not directly related to human - food safety). Option B is about transportation changes (unrelated to food acts). Option D about veterinarians focusing on small animals is not relevant to these acts. Option C, where scientists realized animal diseases affected people, is in line with the purpose of these acts (to protect public health through food inspection).

Answer:

C. Scientists realized that animal diseases were affecting people
