    The correct answer is C

    The Interstate Commerce Act was a US federal law enacted in 1887 to limit the monopolistic practices that had emerged within the railroad industry. It was the first law that was issued in the US to regulate a private industry. The act stated that the rates charged should be "reasonable and just" but the goverment avoided to establish a specific fare. Shipping rates had to be published as well.
