Question

a goal of financial regulatory agencies is to
○ prevent monopolies.
○ enforce workplace safety.
○ protect the environment.
○ enforce food safety.

Explanation:

Financial regulatory agencies focus on overseeing financial markets and institutions. Preventing monopolies relates to ensuring fair competition in financial sectors (or broader economic competition, as financial regulation can intersect with antitrust in some cases). Enforcing workplace safety is for labor agencies, protecting the environment is for environmental agencies, and enforcing food safety is for food regulatory bodies. So the correct option is the one about preventing monopolies.

Answer:

A. prevent monopolies
