The correct answer is competition. Antitrust laws have been implemented by governments to promote competition. These laws are designed to prevent and regulate anti-competitive practices such as price fixing and bid rigging, which restrict competition and harm consumers. By promoting competition, antitrust laws aim to ensure that there is a level playing field for businesses and encourage innovation, lower prices, and increased consumer choice.
