Answer:

C) more regulation of railroad and grain elevator rates

Step-by-step 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.
