Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
In British Columbia, occupational health and safety regulations are governed by both the federal and provincial (BC) governments. The federal government sets regulations for industries under its jurisdiction, while the provincial government of BC has its own set of regulations for industries under its jurisdiction. This dual system ensures that all workers in BC are covered by health and safety regulations, regardless of the jurisdiction of their industry.
