D. a decline in foreign demand of American crops.

Answer 2

Answer:

d. a decline in foreign demand of American crops.

Explanation:

The government's response to complaints of farmers about high costs of shipping their crops led to the creation of the regulatory agency Interstate Commerce Commission. In 1887, the Interstate Commerce Act  Bill passed in response to the discontent with the railroad companies that regulated the prices that transportation charged to move goods between states.
