The correct answer is letter "D": Clayton Act.

Explanation:

Introduced by Democrat Henry De La Mar Clayton (1857-1929), the Clayton Act is a treaty passed by the U. S. Congress in 1914. This Act is the main antitrust legislation that forbids anti-competitive mergers, acquisition of stocks, tying contracts, predatory pricing among other illegal corporate behavior.
