Explanation:

The 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution established the direct election of U.S. senators by the general electorate, replacing the prior system where state legislatures appointed senators. Option A relates to antitrust actions unrelated to the amendment, Option C is the 19th Amendment (women's suffrage), and Options D and E describe business regulation/antitrust functions not tied to this amendment.

Answer:

B. It requires the direct election of US senators by voters
