Answer 1

The correct statement is:

**They do not evaluate dietary supplements for safety or effectiveness.**

The FDA does not approve dietary supplements before they are marketed; instead, manufacturers are responsible for ensuring the safety of their products. The FDA can take action against dietary supplements that are found to be unsafe after they are on the market.
