Answer 1

A. Federal Trade Commission

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told about a food company in the scenario which ''insert clear glass marbles into the bottom of soup containers used in print advertisements to bring some of the soup's ingredients (e.g., noodles or chicken) to the surface, thus misrepresenting the amount of solid ingredients in the soup.''

Hence Campbell Soup Co. is technically making consumers believe less is more and are ripping consumers off.

The agency that regulates all aspects of misrepresentation in trade in the united states is the Federal Trade Commission

The (FTC) Federal Trade Commission is an agency which regulates the ethical practices of trade in the country and watches against deceptive practices which are unfair to consumers.
