Correct answer: Creating the Environmental Protection Agency
Explanation/detail:
Based on answer choices I've seen elsewhere, the other options were foreign policy initiatives -- the formal recognition of China and Strategic Arms Limitations Talks (SALT). There was also a decoy answer about reducing interest rates, but that wasn't a successful policy initiative on Nixon's part. During the Nixon presidency, the Federal Reserve chairman, Arthur Burns, had begun raising interest rates. In 1971, President Nixon exerted pressure on Burns and "the Fed" to keep interest rates down, but that only led to a decade of high inflation that caused other economic problems. So that was not a success for Nixon.
<u>About the Environmental Protection Agency</u>
President Nixon signed an executive order establishing the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970. Subsequent committee hearings in the House of Representatives and the Senate ratified Nixon's order for the creation of the agency.
Environmental issues had been gaining much attention during the 1960s, and the need for oversight became clear. As Lily Rothman reported in a TIME magazine article:
- <em>An oil spill off the California coast in 1969 coated 400 square miles with slime and killed hundreds of birds. Scientists announced that auto exhaust was at high enough levels in some places that it could cause birth defects. The city of St. Louis smelled, as one resident put it, “like an old-fashioned drugstore on fire.”</em>

Nixon's administration felt it necessary to take action to address pollution problems in the American environment.

The main reason that several new England cities became major shipbuilding centers was these cities needed ships for deep sea fishing. The land near the cities was at first difficult to farm.
Shipbuilding is the construction of ships and other floating ships. It usually takes place in a specialized facility called a shipyard. A shipbuilder or shipbuilder is a specialized profession that has its roots in earlier history.
Shipbuilding and ship repair, both commercial and military, is called "naval engineering". Boat building is a similar activity known as boat building. The earliest known descriptions (including paintings and models) of shallow-water sailing ships date from the 6th to 5th millennium BC of the Ubaid period of Mesopotamia. They were made from baled reeds covered with bitumen and had bipedal masts. They sailed in the shallow coastal waters of the Persian Gulf. Evidence from Ancient Egypt shows that the early Egyptians knew how to attach wooden planks to the hulls of ships as early as 3100 BC. Ancient Egyptian pottery circa 4000 BC. AD shows drawings of the first riverboats or other maritime vehicles.
