Answer: (B)

The year the Occupational Safety and Health Act was enacted is 1970. This act, officially the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, was signed into law in December 1970 to establish a framework for improving workplace safety and health. It led to the creation of OSHA and NIOSH and set the standards and enforcement mechanisms that guide workplace safety today. While OSHA began enforcing standards in 1971, the enactment date is 1970. The other years are outside the actual time the law was signed into effect.
