I’m leaning towards the FTC as the answer too, but I wish I had reviewed more about each agency's specific functions before the exam.

I’m a bit confused; I thought all of these agencies had some role in payroll, but I guess the FTC focuses more on trade practices?

Okay, let me think this through. The PAYO, DOL, and IRS are all likely resources for payroll professionals, so the answer must be the FTC. I'll go with that.
