Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The EPA is responsible for regulating pesticide use in the United States, and to be legally registered, a pesticide must perform its intended function without posing unreasonable risk to humans or the environment (choice A). However, the EPA may also balance the economic and social costs of use of a pesticide in deciding whether to register it (choice B). Once a pesticide is registered, it can be canceled or amended if new information indicates that it is no longer able to meet safety standards (not choice C). Therefore, the correct answer is D, both (a) and (b).
