a. created the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

Explanation:

Even though former President Nixon was a proponent of reducing the powers of the Federal government, he recognized the need for certain federal government agencies at a time when economic growth had led to increased pollution and maltreatment of employees.

Agencies such as the EPA, OSHA and the NTSB were established after their respective bills went through Congress to ensure the protection of the environment and workers thereby making Nixon's administration one of the most eco-friendly ones there was.

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.
