The correct answer is A) establishing and maintaining the Interstate Commerce Commission.
A cost associated with enforcing the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 was establishing and maintaining the Interstate Commerce Commission.
In that time, railroads had abusive practices that affected consumers and businesses across the country. That is why the federal government created the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887, effective since April 7. The United States Congress wanted to reduce monopolistic practices in railroads of America and invite those companies to have more reasonable prices that could be afforded by the majority. One of the costs associated with enforcing the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 was establishing and maintaining the Interstate Commerce Commission that was looking for the elimination of discrimination rates and to oversee railroads compliance with these new regulations.
