The correct answer is A.

<em>The Northern Securities Company</em> was formed in the year 1901 in the state of New Jersey. It was the merging of holdings of the following railroad companies: Northern Pacific Railway, Great Northern Railway, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad.

<em>This merger created a monopoly that monopolized the railway traffic between Chicago and the Northwest.</em>

President Roosevelt, fearing restraint of trade and competition, sued the company in 1902 under the Sherman Antitrust Act ( this acts regulated the competition among enterprises).

The government won the case and the company was dissolved. The three railroad companies started to operate individually again.
