The correct answer is A. The federal government combined several agencies into the Department of Homeland Security to prevent future acts of terrorism in the United States through coordination.

Explanation:

The Department of Homeland Security is a federal government department, created in 2003 as a result of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack.

The Department's mission is to coordinate the work to prevent disasters and terrorist attacks, and to act to protect the population in such events. The Department of Homeland Security (including all subordinate authorities) has over 240,000 employees, and is thus the United States' third largest government department, after the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs, counting the number of employees.

It was established on January 24, 2003 and the purpose was to bring together the majority of the authorities that worked with the "homeland security" under a unique department. The establishment of DHS was the largest change in the structure of the federal administration since the establishment of the Department of Defense, the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Council in connection with the 1947 National Security Act.
