The correct answer is **C. market regulation**.
Government intervention through market regulation, particularly antitrust laws, is designed to prevent monopolies and promote competition in the marketplace. These regulations can block mergers that would significantly reduce competition and lead to monopolistic practices, ensuring a fair environment for consumers and other businesses.
