What does the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) do?

  1. Registers disinfectants

  2. Enforces workplace safety

  3. Studies disease prevention

  4. Tests and approves drugs sold

The correct answer is: Tests and approves drugs sold

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) tests and approves drugs sold in the United States. This is an essential function of the FDA to ensure that medications available to the public are safe and effective for their intended use. Option A is incorrect because the FDA does not register disinfectants; this responsibility falls under the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Option B is incorrect because enforcing workplace safety is typically overseen by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Option C is incorrect because studying disease prevention is typically the responsibility of health agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), not the FDA.
