b. a Democratic victory in the 1896 presidential election
c. more regulation of railroad and grain elevator rates
d. repeal of the "Grande Laws"
Answer:
C) more regulation of railroad and grain elevator rates
Explanation:
Railroad companies were basically monopolies that charged farmers very high transportation fees. Most places had only one rail line (if they had any), so the railroad company could charge whatever fee they wanted, and abuses were made all around the country. Eventually farmers organized around the Granger organizations to demand for regulation on the railroad system.
