The correct response is:
**It imposed fines for hiding runaway slaves.**
The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 mandated that escaped slaves be returned to their owners and imposed heavy penalties on anyone who assisted them or helped them escape, which directly favored the South by strengthening slaveholding interests and increasing the consequences for those who would help runaway slaves.
