The answer is the second one (or B): is being developed by the EPA and will screen chemicals for potential endocrine disruption.

Explanation for each option: a. Incorrect. The Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP) is not specifically focused on testing pesticides for their ability to cause cancer. Its primary goal is to screen chemicals for their potential to disrupt the endocrine system. b. Correct. The EDSP is indeed being developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and is designed to screen chemicals for their potential to disrupt the endocrine system. c. Incorrect. The EDSP does not examine all disease-causing aspects of pesticides. It specifically focuses on endocrine disruption. d. Incorrect. The EDSP has not already identified and banned more than 300 pesticides. The program is focused on screening and identifying potential endocrine disruptors, but it has not reached the stage of banning such a large number of pesticides.

Summary: The correct answer is B: The Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program is being developed by the EPA and will screen chemicals for potential endocrine disruption.
