Which of the following is regulated by the FDA according to the material?

• A. Pesticides
• B. Human Drugs
• C. Patches for Roads
• D. Nuclear Safety Equipment

Answer: (B)

The important idea is that the FDA’s role is to regulate medicines for people, ensuring they are safe and effective before they’re sold and used. When a company develops a human drug, it must generate evidence from lab studies and clinical trials, get FDA approval, and follow rules on how the drug is manufactured, labeled, and monitored after it’s on the market. That focus on human medicines is exactly what makes this item the one the FDA regulates.

Pesticides fall under the Environmental Protection Agency, which handles chemical safety and residue rules. Patches for roads and nuclear safety equipment are handled by other agencies that deal with infrastructure and nuclear safety, not the FDA.
