The correct statement is:

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

The FDA does not approve dietary supplements for safety and effectiveness before they are marketed. Instead, it is the responsibility of the manufacturers to ensure that their products are safe and that any claims made about effectiveness are truthful and not misleading. The FDA does have the authority to take action against any unsafe dietary supplements after they reach the market.
