The correct answer is B) recognized the right of consumers to buy safe cars.

The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 was significant because it recognized the right of consumers to buy safe cars.

This act forced car manufacturers to include safety standards in the construction of the car. The idea of the government was to protect the public from unnecessary risks due to the wrong or limited design of the car. During 1965, car accidents had been the first cause of death in the United States for people under 44 years-old. New legislation was much needed.
