Answer:

The correct answer is C. The NRA required minimum wages, maximum work requirements, and collective bargaining.

Explanation:

As part of the New Deal in the United States, the National Recovery Administration, created by the National Industrial Recovery Act, was developed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his administration. It allowed industries to create fair competition codes, which were designed to reduce predatory competition and to help workers by establishing a minimum income and maximum weekly working hours.
