The Sherman Antitrust Act was made to break up the trusts that were made in the government. For example, let's say BettaFlyer got into the presidential elections, if I vote for him and he wins, I will get a job in the government, that's a trust. Your answer would be B! Corporations could vote for a candidate and in return get something in the government.

Have a nice day! :)
