B. control interstate commerce.
C. make new transportation laws.
D. regulate communications across state lines.
Answer:
The correct answer is A. The ICC was formed to oversee railroad operations.
Explanation:
The Interstate Commerce Commission was established by the Interstate Commerce Act, a federal law of February 4, 1887. The ICC was the first independent agency at the federal level. With the approval of the US Senate, the President of the United States appointed its members, who had a degree of independence in their decisions.
The original purpose of the ICC was to regulate rail transport (and later also truck traffic). From 1910 to 1934 it also regulated the telephone services between the states. This responsibility was transferred in 1934 to the newly created Federal Communications Commission. Due to various deregulation measures of the US Congress in the 1970s and 1980s, the ICC lost more and more skills. It was abolished in 1995. The responsibilities that have been left to it were handled by the Surface Transportation Board.

The two Opium Wars were between China and England.
The first war developed from 1839 to 1942, and the second, in which France allied with England, started over a decade later in 1839 and ended in 1860. Both wars ended with beneficial results for Britain and not for the Qing Dynasty of China, which after its first defeat not only had it to increased the treaty ports so Britain could trade and reside, but they had to cede Hong Kong to them as well; The outcomes of the second war weren't beneficial either: Chinese was forced to open more ports to British, to allow them to travel in their country, and legalize the opium trade, which started the wars in the first place.
