Answer

Brief Explanations:

Ida Tarbell was a prominent muckraker. Her work "The History of the Standard Oil Company" exposed the monopolistic practices of Standard Oil, which hurt competition. This was in line with the muckraking tradition of investigative journalism in the early 1900s. William Jennings Bryan was a politician, John Dewey was a philosopher and educator, and Nellie Bly was a journalist known for her undercover work (like in mental asylums) but not specifically for the Standard Oil exposé.
