Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Dietary supplements are not always officially tested by the government for effectiveness, which means their actual benefits and safety can be uncertain, making their consumption risky.
• Option B: While some unethical manufacturers might do this, it's not a universal reason for the risk of dietary supplements.
