Answer 1

Alicia can file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and the telemarketers could be fined up to $40,000 for each call.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement is: Alicia can file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and the telemarketers could be fined up to $40,000 for each call.

The FTC is responsible for regulating telemarketing calls, and individuals can file complaints when they receive unwanted calls, even after adding their number to the DoNotCall.gov registry.

Telemarketers who violate the regulations set by the FTC can face fines of up to $40,000 for each call made to a registered number on the Do Not Call list.
