How could the answer be D since the FTC is a part of the Department of Commerce? I am not sure what the correct answer here is.

Per page 35 of the book, the DOC does not have regulatory authority for privacy. The FTC is separate from that of the DOC. FTC is a independent agency and the DOC is a department within the executive branch.
