Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) allows for the filing of a lawsuit in a federal district court if a federal agency, such as the FBI, fails to comply with a FOIA request. There is no U.S. Freedom of Information Agency, Congress's FOIA subcommittee, or a special conference with the president designated for these challenges.
