Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Government agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) provide unbiased and reliable information for consumers to make informed decisions. The other options, such as advertisements and sales personnel, may have biased information aimed at promoting a particular product or brand. Friends and relatives may not have the expertise or experience to offer reliable information, and point-of-purchase displays may only highlight certain features and benefits of a product rather than offering a comprehensive comparison with other options. TV consumer programs may provide helpful information, but may also be influenced by commercial considerations or incomplete information. Consumer Reports is a well-known nonprofit publication that provides unbiased reviews and comparisons of various products and services, but was not included in the answer options.
