The correct answer is B.

All of the aforementioned pieces of legislation deal with regulation or breaking up trusts/monopolies.

For example, the Clayton Act (passed in 1914) helped to regulate businesses from using anti-competition techniques that would hurt their competitors.

The Sherman Anti-Trust Act (1890) allowed the federal government to investigate trusts/monopolies. Companies investigated by the federal government who were found guilty of breaking this law faced federal charges.

These laws all helped to ensure competition in American society.
