Final answer:

Benjamin Harrison's presidency is not directly linked to the options provided, but during his term, the Sherman Antitrust Act was passed. William Howard Taft is connected to the 16th Amendment, and Woodrow Wilson with the Federal Reserve Act. The matchings are determined by historical legislations and corresponding presidencies.

Step-by-step explanation:

The landmark legislation passed during specific presidencies can be matched as follows:

  1. Benjamin Harrison - is not directly associated with the legislations listed, but his presidency saw the passage of the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1890.
  2. William Howard Taft - is associated with the 16th Amendment, which allowed the federal government to collect an income tax, and the Mann-Elkins Act of 1910, which isn't listed here.
  3. Woodrow Wilson - is best associated with the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, which created a central banking system, and the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914.
