Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The Robinson-Patman act is a part of antitrust laws that makes it illegal to give a price discount on a good sold to another business, which can result in unfair competition. Thus, options A and B are correct. However, it does not prohibit discounts given to final customers, so option C is incorrect.
