Answer 1

The correct answer is C. The NRA required minimum wages, maximum work requirements, and collective bargaining.

Step-by-step explanation:

The National Recovery Administration was a federal agency launched by President Franklin D. Roosevelt as part of the New Deal to combat the Great Depression. The National Recovery Administration introduced elements of central economic planning into the liberal market organization. Roosevelt wanted to correct the course of strict budget consolidation under Herbert Hoover, who in Roosevelt's view had exacerbated mass unemployment. It allowed industries to create fair competition codes, which were designed to reduce predatory competition and to help workers by establishing a minimum income and maximum weekly working hours.
