Answer

A

Explanation

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was established by President Richard Nixon in 1970 in response to public demand for stricter environmental protections following high-profile pollution incidents. The creation of the EPA was part of a broader environmental movement that sought to address the growing concerns about pollution and its impact on the environment and public health. The other options provided are not accurate reasons for the creation of the EPA. The EPA was not created to decentralize environmental regulations, nor was it created to bifurcate both federal and local government agencies. Additionally, the EPA was not created to create a federal strike force for environmental concerns in communist countries.
