The answer is definitely B.
The answer is B
The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 banned "combinations in restraint of trade" or basically any monopoly that reduced competition in the marketplace, a direct response to the growth of monopolistic practices in the late 1800's. Social Security was a response to the Great Depression and was designed to protect retiring workers, many of which were left with little to no retirement income. Finally FDIC was a response to the crisis in the US banking sector during the depression and was designed to insure depositors funds in case of a bank's failure
