Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Apple and Google were accused of using their dominance in one area (smartphones and search engines respectively) to dominate another (app stores and online advertising). This is a violation of antitrust laws that prohibit companies from abusing their position in the market to stifle competition. The other options (B, C, and D) are not related to the antitrust allegations against Apple and Google.
