  • To hunt and exterminate rats

Answer- D
NYC Mayor Eric Adams has assigned Kathleen Corradi to address the city's significant rat problem as the first-ever "rat czar."

Corradi's main objective is to decrease the rat population and improve the living conditions of residents by creating a cleaner environment.

The Adams administration is also allocating $3.5 million to the Harlem Rat Mitigation Zone, a fresh initiative that aims to accelerate rat control measures throughout Harlem.
