OpenStudy (anonymous):
I'm going with (C) to control markets to maximize profits. Trusts were essentially monopolies in which huge corporate empires swept aside anyone smaller than themselves in business. The other choices were also practiced by a number of large companies (like those in a trust) to varying degrees, but (C) had also opened the door to a lot of those abuses.
