In about 2003, day spas, chain whitening franchises, and other businesses began to offer teeth whitening. Dentists began complaining to State Boards of Dental Examiners and wanted to have non-dentist teeth whitening prohibited. The dentists said that they were concerned about public health and safety in having non-licensed individuals performing teeth whitening. The State Boards are made up mostly of dentists and generally one or two consumer representatives. In North Carolina, the Board issued an order that shut down the non-dentist teeth whitening businesses. Which of the following statements is correct?

a. The dental board can take such action because the Noerr-Pennington doctrine protects them when the action is taken by a government body.

b. The health and safety argument is valid only if supported by evidence.

c. both b and c

d. The dental board's actions were anticompetitive.

    Answer: D

    By the way, option C is equal to option B because there's no new information in C

    Explanation:

    This is business. Looking at the agitation of the Dentists and the Dental board, you can see that if the dentists didn't speak up they would have less number of patients or clients once the other business start offering teeth whitening services to people.

    Dentists are medical practitioners, yes, but they earn from treating people with teeth problems or issues.

    Statement D hence portrays the mindset of the dentists and the dental board
