i think the answer might be d but i'm really not sure.

the answer is c, it is not d because since the workers and land owners split the profits they were not required to pay them any wage.

C. keeping them in constant debt.

Explanation:

The sharecropping was an economic system that started to be practiced in the Southern states of the U.S. once the Reconstruction era began. Under this form of agriculture, landowners (mostly white Southerners) gave a small plot of land to a newly freed family or individual so they can work on it and, in return, share the crops produced to the owner at the end of the year.

As expected, the contracts between these two parties were rarely equal, as the contracts usually favored landowners by setting that the sharecroppers had to give a vast quantity of their crops to the landowners, which sometimes they could not pay and left them heavily in debt.

several states had passed similar laws, but they were limited to intrastate businesses. the sherman antitrust act was based on the constitutional power of congress to regulate interstate commerce.
