Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both the Knights of Labor and the American Federation of Labor, shared a goal which was to organize workers so that they demand better working conditions from their employers.

Knights of Labor was founded in 1869 as the first major labor organization in the United States, its campaign claimed for an 8-hour workday and also that the employees could own the companies in which they worked.

Knights of Labor ended in 1886, at the time the American Federation of Labor was gaining more strength, and it received several members of the Knights.

Its objective was to achieve higher salaries, shorter hours and better working conditions for workers. Arrived the year 1900, the AFL managed to recruit 500,000 members.
