Answer:
C: to eliminate abuses by the railroads
Explanation:
Before the Hepburn Act was enacted, the railroads had a monopoly, set high rate prices for shipping products and favored a few companies only. In 1906, Theodore Roosevelt got Congress to pass the Act to eliminate railroads abuses and strengthen federal regulation of railroads by giving the Interstate Commerce Commission (a regulatory agency) more power to regulate railroads by setting maximum prices rates and other practices.
