The correct answer is the B) Transportation Security Administration.

The TSA still plays a significant role in American society today. Every major airport in the United States has TSA agents who check luggage, investigate suspicious behaviors/activities, and screen individuals before boarding a flight. This agency was created only a couple months after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, in which individuals were able to hijack a plane.
