Answer: A
Explanation: A) It is always possible to come up with some argument for individual differences, but that argument is hardest to make in the case of things like food safety, Choice A. Everyone needs safe food, and it is hard to argue that the steps required for safety would be different for different places. The other choices involve decisions that might be made at more local levels.
