The best answer is the last one:c. The government regulates the terms that credit card companies can give their customers.

The law that regulates the Credit Card conditions was passed in 2009 and is known as the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act ...

For example the law dictates better advance notice of charges and prohibits retrospective increase of interest rate (charging the rate for the previous months).
