Researchers at a pharmaceutical company are convinced that they have found a cure for a horrible disease. they want to start selling the new drug right away. however, their company first has to spend millions of dollars to test the drug. which agency requires this action?

a).food and drug administration
b).federal communications commission
c).federal trade commission
d).national highway traffic safety administration
e).transportation security agency

A). Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

-The FDA was established around the early 1900s (06') after health problems between production and regulations of factory processed food [and drugs], mostly on the process of meat. (I remember learning this in US History, they blended rats along with human fingers in some of the meat, selling it to people. The book: "The Jungle" also caused this act to come in place)
-I didn't mean to go into history of this lol

The other answers would not make sense as their mission focuses on other regulations.

Hope this helps :)
