It is time for the F. D. A. to stop corporate factory farms from wasting【C9】______drugs just to promote growth among animals confined in conditions that inherently create the risk of disease. The F.

选项
答案
C
解析
该空格位于动词不定式的指示词to后,故应填入动词原形。根据句意,美国自然资源保护委员会对美国食品及药物管理局提起诉讼,目的是为了使食品及药物管理局有所行动。而提起诉讼意味着不管食品及药物管理局愿意与否,它都必须有所反应,这是一种迫使的行为,因此选择compel“迫使”。
