The correct answer is B. Conservatives held the view that businesses should regulate themselves without government oversight.
Conservatives typically argue that government should not play an important role in the regulation of business and the management of the economy. They generally oppose efforts to collect high tax rates and to redistribute income to help the poor. Such efforts, they argue, do not adequately reward people who have earned their money through hard work. However, social conservatives place great emphasis on the role of private voluntary charities (charities, especially faith-based ones) in helping the poor.
