    The correct answer is letter "C": Federal Trade Commission.

    The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the independent agency of the U. S, created in 1914 that is in charge of reviewing cases related to deceiving advertisements and any other type of unfair practice regarding the marketing strategies of individuals and organizations. Additionally, the FTC investigates commerce fraud-related cases and pre-merger notifications.

    The main objective of the FTC is to protect the consumer from predatory corporate practices.
