    B, promoting effective and workable competition

    Explanation:

    Inside trading of stocks is punishable by law as it does not give room for competition since stocks are traded by individuals with access to inside information.

    Making inside trading does not allow for competition as only a few people are able to jostle for the stocks which is meant to be open to the public.

    Cheers.
