<span>The practices of various trusts in the railroad, steel, tobacco, and oil industries.

"Antitrust Act" should tell you that it's against "trusts" which monopolized various areas of business and commerce.  A primary culprit was the Standard Oil Trust, which had been formed in 1882 and controlled over 90% of oil refining capacity in the United States.  John D. Rockefeller was the founder of the Standard Oil Company, but the Sherman Antitrust Act was not about his personal popularity.

There also would be antitrust action against ALCOA (Aluminum Company of America), but that action occurred in 1945, after the Roosevelt administration accused ALCOA of violating the Sherman Antitrust Act.  What became the ALCOA corporation had just begun its history (in 1888) at the time of the Sherman Antitrust Act and hadn't yet developed into the full "Aluminum Company of America" until 1907.

C. Cattle and pigs were too expensive to raise

D. Cattle and pigs were considered sacred

And the correct answer choice is:

B. Cattle and pigs were found only in Europe

Cattle and pigs were not found in the Americas, and Native Americans were obviously unable to consume beef or pork. Native Americans had a mostly vegetarian diet supplemented by hunting or by the raise of animals like turkeys, which were present in the Americas.

The reason for this is that the ancestors of cattle and pigs in the American went extinct shortly after the American continent was populated from East Asia.
