Explanation:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for protecting public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, and medical devices. In case of suspected counterfeit medications, the FDA should be contacted. State Boards of Pharmacy deal more with licensing and regulation of pharmacists and pharmacies at the state - level. There is no "Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)" as an option here, and The Joint Commission focuses on accreditation and quality improvement in healthcare organizations.

Answer:

D. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
