Correct answer: the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The SEC is the federal agency that enforces U.S. securities laws and oversees the securities markets, stock exchanges, broker-dealers, investment advisers and public company disclosures. The Federal Reserve primarily handles monetary policy and supervises banks — it is not the main regulator of the stock market. (Other bodies with related roles include FINRA, the exchanges themselves, and the CFTC for certain derivatives.)
