What does the Federal Communications Commission regulate?

• A. Regulates all communications by telegraph, cable, telephone, radio, and television.
• B. Regulates financial markets
• C. Sets national franking policies
• D. Oversees environmental regulations

Answer: (A)

Regulating communications across different technologies is what the FCC does. The agency oversees interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire (like telephone networks), satellite, and cable. This includes licensing broadcasters, managing the radio spectrum to prevent interference, and enforcing rules to keep services fair and reliable for the public. That scope covers the core ways people receive and use communications today, including telephone, cable, radio, and TV. Other federal bodies handle domains outside this remit: financial markets are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, mail policies by the Postal Service, and environmental rules by the Environmental Protection Agency. So the description that matches the FCC’s work is the one that includes these forms of communications.
