Explanation:

First Question (Government Agency for Medication Safety)

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for ensuring the safety of medications (and food, etc.). The OCDETF focuses on organized crime - drug enforcement, DEA on drug enforcement (not safety approval), and USDA Food and Nutrition Service on food/nutrition programs, not medication safety.

Relief of anxiety and treating insomnia are potential uses (not negative effects), slowing the nervous system is a mechanism but impaired memory is a negative health effect of barbiturates.

Drug abuse typically leads to interrupted goals, violence, and arrest. Increased financial security is not a consequence (drug abuse often leads to financial problems, not security).

Answer:

c. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
