The correct answer is E. The Food and Drug Administration must approve a new drug before it can be sold to the public.
Explanation:
The economy of a country is considered to be mixed if the government has partial but not complete control over the economy. This often means the government owns entities that influence the process of making, distributing, and selling a product, which includes the government issuing regulations private entities need to follow.
This definition applies to "The Food and Drug Administration must approve a new drug before it can be sold to the public" because even when in the U.S. individuals can produce and sell products such as foods or medicines there is a government agency that controls the process to guarantee safety.
