C. subsidies
D. sales taxes

Answer 1

Answer: C

Subsidies

Explanation:

An excerpt from Washington Small v Large

"Large industrial farms grow primarily corn and soy, which consumers buy as meat and processed foods. And there’s a strong argument that those foods are making us fat and sick. But that’s not the farmers’ fault. They grow what the market demands. If we want to fix that, and I think we should, we’d be better off talking to the government, which determines subsidies; food manufacturers, who turn crops into what we actually eat; and consumers, who vote with their wallets."
