Lorelai Hahn · Answer 2

B. Changes were needed to improve working conditions.

Explanation:

Although the list is not included, there is only one option that is compatible with the way of thinking of reformers during the 1800s. Reformers believed that factory work needed to be improved, because working conditions were often inadequate. Children worked long hours in factories, salaries were low, safety and health regulations were nonexistent, and workers had few rights. Therefore, reformers believed that changes were needed in order to improve working conditions.
