a. the airwaves belong to the people.

Explanation:

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) was established by the Congress to develop and regulate an efficient and swift communications system all over the country.

It has been given the power to regulate broadcasting because communication frequencies are very limited resources and the airwaves belong to the people. By its nature of being a public property, the FCC has the right over the airwaves.

Public properties are controlled and maintained by the government, therefore, the FCC has the right to regulate broadcasting systems in the country.
