In the Staples/Office Depot Case, the government:
A. found that Office Depot had illegally attempted to monopolize the market.
B. determined that the anticompetitive effects of a proposed merger between the two firms outweighed the potential savings in production costs, and so they blocked the proposed merger.
C. found that Staples had illegally attempted to monopolize the market by using tying contracts.
D. found that Staples had attempted to drive Office Depot out of the market, and so they prosecuted them under the Clayton Act.
