Jamison Ruiz · Answer 1

D). Luddites.

Explanation:

As per the question, the quotation given here exemplifies the 'Luddites' group of idea formulation as they show a disapproval to the technological advancement. This opposition to change in technology is reflected through 'their empowerment to break and destroy all frames and engines that fabricate articles' as the machines possessed a threat to the jobs of framework knitters. The workers neglected the change (technological) abruptly and categorized it as 'fraudulent and deceitful' which mirrors their dissent. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
