Explanation

Theodore Roosevelt believed natural resources and wilderness should be conserved. He worked with naturalists and helped protect public lands by establishing national forests, parks, and other conservation areas. That makes “worked with naturalists in protecting wilderness by setting up area for conservation” the best choice; the Pure Food and Drug Act focused on food and medicine safety, not wilderness protection.
