Answer:

The correct answer is C. To respond to concern regarding the power of trusts, the United States Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust Act.

Explanation:

The Sherman Antitrust Act is a federal law in the United States that regulates competition between companies. The law was passed by the United States Congress on April 8, 1890, and became the first US federal law to restrict the monopolies.


The law was signed by Senator John Sherman of Ohio, and approved by President Benjamin Harrison.  The law made the position of the unions more difficult as many of their activities were banned.
