The correct answer is:

B. Injunctions

Explanation:

The major weapon the federal government used against labor unions to beat strikes was injunctions. Injunctions are orders settled by a court in a civil trial to order a party, an individual or a group to stop an act, or to perform certain act to preserve the status quo, and to prevent irreparable harm.

The Norris-LaGuardia Act, passed in 1932 settled limits on federal courts to stop using injunctions on labor disputes.
