Answer
A
strengthening the Interstate Commerce Commission.
B
establishing the Interstate Commerce Commission.
C
reestablishing the practice of giving rebates to large companies.
D
continuing to lower railroad rates.

Explanation

The Mann-Elkins Act of 1910 expanded federal regulation of railroads and strengthened the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), continuing Theodore Roosevelt’s reform efforts. The ICC had already been established in 1887, so Taft’s act did not create it. The correct choice is “strengthening the Interstate Commerce Commission.”
