The Jungle is a book about the work conditions and the conditions of meat in their stores, so I would say that the answer is c. fraud in LOCAL (being the keyword here) and federal governments.

themselves

an intensive pronoun is a pronoun that ends in self or selves, such as himself, herself, themselves, yourself, ourselves. since band members is a third person plural, the correct intensive pronoun would be themselves. if the band was talked about as a collective noun, itself would be the appropriate intensive pronoun. intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the noun it's modifying which is why it directly follows it.
