Final answer:
The correct answer is option: C) The Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974, created federal regulations for the construction of manufactured homes, ensuring improved quality and safety standards.
Step-by-step explanation:
The act that created federal regulations for the construction of manufactured homes is the Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974. Before this act, there was little standardization in the construction of manufactured homes. This regulation aimed to improve the quality and safety of these homes for residents.
It should not be confused with other housing-related legislation such as the Fair Housing Act of 1968 which addressed discrimination in housing, or the various acts aimed at providing affordable housing or the expansion of housing as part of urban renewal initiatives.
