FDA stands for which organization?

• A. Federal Drug Administration
• B. Food and Drug Administration
• C. Federal Drug Authority
• D. Food and Defense Administration

Answer: (C)

The main idea is to know the exact expansion of the acronym FDA. FDA stands for Food and Drug Administration. It’s a U.S. government agency under the Department of Health and Human Services that regulates and ensures the safety of foods, drugs, vaccines, medical devices, cosmetics, and more, including reviewing and approving new medicines before they’re sold. The other options mix up key words: “Federal” isn’t in the official name, and “Authority” or “Defense” don’t reflect the correct title. Memorizing the precise wording—Food and Drug Administration—helps prevent mix-ups.
