Answer 1

Answer:
D. support trust-busting and anti-monopoly policies.
Step-by-step explanation:

The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 was amended by the Clayton Act, which was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson in 1914. The Sherman Act's restrictions on monopolistic behaviour and anti-competitive practises were two of the issues the act sought to address. It also aimed to strengthen antitrust laws generally. The Clayton Act gave the federal government the power to challenge antitrust offences and specifically outlawed a number of commercial activities that were believed to be anticompetitive, including pricing discrimination and interlocking directorates.
