Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is primarily concerned with public health through the regulation of food safety, tobacco products, dietary supplements, prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs, vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, medical devices, and veterinary products. This focus on health and safety places it in the category of social regulation rather than industrial regulation.
