The Pendleton Civil Service Act prohibited giving away positions solely on the basis of political affiliation- so it's not about companies! The "Spoils systems" was a name given to the practice that this act prohibited.

The correct answer is The Sherman Antitrust Act - this is the act that prohibited monopolies, which is what unfair advantage is also called!
