Answer: An interlocking directorate

Explanation: This is an example of an interlocking directorate. The Clayton and Celler-Kefauver Acts are antitrust laws that help substantially lessen competition or the creation (and elimination) of monopolies. An interlocking directorate is one that occurs when an individual from a company sits on the board of another competing company thus creating the likelihood for anticompetitive collusion between both companies.
