Explanation

Tamper-evident packaging requirements exist to ensure product safety (C) - they give consumers visible proof that a product has not been opened, altered, or contaminated before purchase. Regulatory bodies like the FDA mandate these features specifically after incidents (e.g., the 1982 Tylenol poisonings) demonstrated that product tampering posed serious public health risks.

A (Reduce production costs) is wrong - tamper-evident features typically add cost through extra materials and manufacturing steps.
B (Improve aesthetics) is wrong - while packaging can be attractive, tamper-evident seals are a safety mandate, not a design choice.
D (Simplify packaging processes) is wrong - these requirements generally increase complexity, adding seals, bands, or indicators to the production line.

Memory tip: Think of the word "tamper" itself - it means unauthorized interference. Tamper-evident packaging makes interference evident (visible), which directly protects the consumer. Safety = the whole point.
