C — A railroad company.

The Bourbon Triumvirate (Brown, Colquitt, Gordon) promoted pro-business, pro-industrialization, low‑tax, limited‑government policies and had close ties to railroads and merchants. Their policies benefited corporations more than Republicans, African Americans, or poor farmers (who tended to oppose the Bourbons and later backed Populists).
