Explanation:

Trust-busting refers to the breaking up of large monopolistic corporate trusts to promote competition. Theodore Roosevelt was known for his trust-busting efforts. The Northern Securities Company was a major railroad monopoly, and Roosevelt's administration successfully broke it up as a key trust-busting action. Options A, B are the opposite of trust-busting; options C and E are unrelated to trust-busting (child labor is a separate reform issue, and Roosevelt did not abolish child labor during his tenure).

Answer:

D. He broke up the Northern Securities Company
