The robber Barons became rich by building monopolies. Option D is correct.

"Robber baron" is a derogatory metaphor of social criticism which was first refered to some late 19th-century American businessmen who were accused of using unscrupulous methods in their attempt to become wealthy, or expand their wealth.

The metaphor became popular as early as February 9, 1859, when The New York Times employed it to describe the business practices of Cornelius Vanderbilt.

bulgar [2K]

The correct answer is D. political party

Political parties are entities created with the goal of channeling the political participation of citizens within a democracy and contribute to the representation system. The people that are part of a political party share objectives, interests, an ideology, a political vision of reality, values, principles, and projects. Their maximum goal is to catch electoral support in order to run for elections and, in case of winning, to hold government power to apply the objectives and projects of their political agenda. In a representative system of republican democracy, there are many political parties, each of one representing different ideologies and political visions, that tend to compete with each other for the electoral support.
