Correct choices:
- Many citizens are in danger of contracting a food-borne illness.
- Pathogens are becoming stronger and harder to defeat.
Why: FSMA was passed to prevent and reduce foodborne illness outbreaks (a significant public-health problem) and to address evolving risks from pathogens and a more complex, global food supply. The other statements are false or irrelevant (food imports increased, chronic illness growth wasn’t the primary driver, and foodborne illnesses are indeed recognized as a health threat).
