What factor would have most likely prevented the problems that cities faced during urbanization?

an effort to modernize rural farming

a slower transition to industrialization

more affordable housing for workers

mandatory health tests for workers

The correct answer is B. A slower transition to industrialization

Explanation:

The word "urbanization" refers to a process that implies the population from a specific country moving from rural areas to urban areas. In history, urbanization began in the 18th century due to the industrial revolution that suddenly changed the economy of many countries from agricultural to industrial and made thousands of people move from the countryside to the cities were factories were located, which led to overcrowded cities in which living conditions were not ideal and that caused different environmental and economic issues as this process expanded massively and faster than expected in all countries and changed the economy and societies all around the world.

Because of this, one of the factors that would have prevented the problems derived from urbanization is "a slower transition to industrialization" as this would have allowed countries to change their economies and societies step by step and work on the necessary condition to make cities and urban areas appropriate for people and solve issues related to the rural areas, as it was due to the rapid expansion of industralization most problems emerged.
