A) conspired to raise e-book prices but the market was not impacted so there were no damages.
B) conspired to raise e-book prices and was liable under a rule of reason analysis.
C) was not liable as the six publishers brought the idea to Apple, so the publishers were liable.
D) was not liable because there was no evidence that its plans ever took effect or impacted the market.
