    The vast consolidation within the rail industry means that most shippers
are served by only one rail company. Railroads typically charge such “captive”
shippers 20 to 30 percent more than they do when another railroad is competing
for the business. Shippers who feel they are being overcharged have the right to
appeal to the federal government’s Surface Transportation Board for rate relief,
but the process is expensive, time-consuming, and will work only in truly
extreme cases.
    It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that ________.
    [A] shippers will be charged less without a rival railroad
    [B] there will soon be only one railroad company nationwide
    [C] overcharged shippers are unlikely to appeal for rate relief
    [D] a government board ensures fair play in railway business
