Answer: b

Explanation:

The small farmers weren’t being treated fairly or equally by the railroad companies

Large companies could demand rebates from railroads but small farmers couldn't. Therefore, they ended up paying higher fees.

Farmers felt that the higher transportation costs they were forced to pay and which made agriculture less rewarding were in order to subsidize the industrial interests they increasingly detested.
