Answer & Explanation Answer: C) It prevented railroads from charging farmers more than other customers.

Explanation:

Railroads discriminated in the prices they charged to passengers and shippers in different localities by providing rebates to large shippers or buyers. These practices were especially harmful to American farmers, who lacked the shipment volume necessary to obtain more favorable rates.
