Answer:

The correct answer is the option A: True.

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin with, the "Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914" is the name given to a law that was part of United States antitrust law regime that had the main purpose of adding further substance to it in order to prevent anticompetitive practices by the companies in the market. Therefore that this law discusses four principles of economic trade and business which were the price discrimination, mergers and acquisitions, exclusive dealings and any person who was a manager of two or more organizations at the same time. It all focused on protecting the competition from the companies that looked for becoming a monopoly.
