Answer:

B. False

Price-fixing, whether conducted by sellers or buyers, is considered a violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act. Section 1 of the Sherman Act prohibits any contract, combination, or conspiracy that restrains trade or commerce among the states or with foreign nations. Price-fixing involves colluding to set prices at a certain level, which reduces competition and can harm consumers and other market participants. It is considered an anticompetitive practice and is subject to antitrust enforcement under the Sherman Act.
